A simple answer. I am a VeriSign premium support customer and I just dropped them the note below. If enough of us do the same - who knows?<BR>
<BR>
A more scary and sobering though - maybe all my domains will just disappear!<BR>
<BR>
A short note to VeriSign: <BR>
__________________________________________<BR>
<BR>
As a result of VeriSign's recent DNS policy changes I will moving all of my domains from VeriSign as soon as they expire, Maybe sooner.<BR>

"To restore the data integrity and predictability of the DNS infrastructure,
the Internet Architecture Board believes it would be best to return the com
and .net Top Level Domain servers to the behavior specified by the DNS
protocols. VeriSign should, of course, be free to continue to distribute its
plug-in in other ways, and we hope with them that the deployment of
Interationalised Domain Name-capable systems is as rapid as possible."
Good news.
