Paul an out of control hooligan, say it isn't so ! :)  

Actually I'd trust ISC/Vixie/ to always do the real
right thing when it comes to root-ops and global DNS.

and I'd trust the Verisign people that run A and J to
do reasonable things with those boxes.  They are good
people, when they wear those hats.

I'd almost never trust Verisign to do whats right for
the public / internet when it comes to dealing with
.COM, .NET and such.  Thats their cash cow and they
will milk it for all its worth, and then some.

speaking as a shareholder of Verisign, I'm NOT HAPPY
with the way they handled this wildcard deal, nor
am I happy about them doing it all.  As a *shareholder*
I'd cast my vote that they *remove* it.
