VeriSign Complies with ICANN Demand to Close Site Finder

by Sabrina I. Pacifici on Oct 3, 2003

VeriSign’s introduction of its Site Finder service on September 15 ignited a firestorm of controversy. Today ICANN President and CEO Paul Twomey sent a letter to VeriSign’s Executive VP Russell Lewis stating:

“VeriSign must suspend the changes to the .com and .net top-level domains introduced on 15 September 2003 by 6:00 PM PDT on 4 October 2003. Failure to comply with this demand by that time will leave ICANN with no choice but to seek promptly to enforce VeriSign’s contractual obligations.

VeriSign complied with this request, and according to this press release, announced the “temporary suspension” of Site Finder.

BeSpacific: “No one better has her finger on the pulse of the legal information world than Sabrina Pacifici, law librarian and author of the blog BeSpacific,” writes blogger Robert Ambrogi. “Launched in 2002, BeSpacific is one of the longest-running legal blogs and, remarkably, Sabrina seems more prolific today than ever. She posts multiple items every day, covering the gamut of law, technology and knowledge discovery and topics ranging from cybersecurity to legal research to government regulation to civil liberties to IP and more. For me, BeSpacific is one of my daily must-reads and has been for 14 years straight.”
