    Declan,
    
    We decided to add ICANN and the United States Department of Commerce to
    our Federal Case in Northern California (Syncalot v. Verisign) involving
    the legality of Verisign's SiteFinder service. We added the above
    additional parties in an effort to have a more complete record and a
    full and fair adjudication of the issues. We are seeking to enjoin the
    SiteFinder service and declare it illegal. Here is a link to the First
    Amended Complaint which alleges, amongst other things, that Verisign
    breached its agreements and violated the law when it attempted to use
    control of the domain name root server to "break the Internet" and
    monetize domain name properties it did not own.
