To: ICANN

We internet users, who either own domain names or have an interest in the
domain name system, wish to object to the Verisign Sitefinder system. We
believe that the system:

1. breaks technical standards, by rewriting the expected error codes to
instead point to Verisign's pay-per-click web directory, and threatens
the
security and stability of the Internet;

2. breaks technical standards affecting email services, and other
internet
systems;

3. is anti-competitive, providing Verisign with 20 million eyeballs per
day for "free", while not paying for the domains they are resolving. All
other market participants pay at least $6 per domain per year
(wholesale);

4. violates trademark rights of domain holders, by typosquatting on their
..com and .net domains; and

5. violates the authoritative nature of DNS, turning it instead into a
"best guess" system filled with uncertainty, thereby destroying the
coherence of the DNS for Verisign's own short-term profit.

We hereby demand that ICANN immediately:

a) insist that Verisign cease giving incorrect answers to any query in
..com and .net, and should instead follow the IETF standards;

b) if Verisign refuses, should redelegate the .com and .net zones to
registries that are more willing to follow the DNS standards;

c) for greater certainty for all gTLD registries, pass a resolution
stating that "gTLD Registry operateors WILL return NXDOMAIN for ALL DNS
queries for which there is not a REGISTERED domain name"; and

d) that Verisign be reprimanded for their monopolistic abuse of the DNS
system, and return all audited gross revenues from their Sitefinder
system
to stakeholders, via a payment to the Generic Names Supporting
Organization (GNSO) of ICANN in the name of the Non-Commercial
constituency
