> Stephen Crocker, one of the Internet's original architects and the
ICANN committee's chairman, asked VeriSign why the wild card was
introduced without giving network operators any warning. "I know for a

management-ually competent to have any authoritative position WRT the
engineering construct that is the Internet, and they should be relieved
of all of them as soon as humanly possible.
