ICANN and VeriSign will consider changes to the new
.net registry agreement in response to a mass protest
by major domain name registrars, who said the deal
represented a "breach of trust" between ICANN and the
registrar community. In response to a joint protest by
more than 30 registrars at a Luxembourg meeting, ICANN
chairman Vint Cerf announced today that VeriSign and
ICANN will re-examine a provision in the agreement that
lifts restrictions on the price VeriSign can charge
registrars for each .net domain they sell.
