VeriSign Withdraws Domain-Suspension Proposal

GeorgeK writes "To update Wednesday's Slashdot article, VeriSign, the .com/net domain name registry, has withdrawn their controversial proposal which would have allowed them to suspend domains without a court order and without due process. VeriSign did not give a reason for the withdrawal. Slashdot 1, VeriSign 0."

Slashdot 10000!

When I saw this story I thought I was entering a lovely dream in which whining on message boards got results and counted as political participation.

Then you woke me up. Jerk.

I don't think Slashdot can claim any credit for Verisign's change of heart. I mean, after all, I didn't even post a comment on that article.
