    Declan,
    
    As Politech readers might be aware, on Wednesday, March 03, 2004, a press
    release issued by Go Daddy Software, Inc., defended ICANN's right to
    regulate VeriSign's registry services and called for a formal review of the
    company's position as an "exclusive registry." This announcement from Go
    Daddy, which came one week after VeriSign filed a lawsuit against ICANN,
    pledged $100,000 to ICANN for its defense of the VeriSign lawsuit. Go Daddy,
    which ranks among the top 3 largest domain name registrars in the world and
    one of VeriSign's largest customers, has also sent a letter to both the U.S.
    Department of Commerce (DOC) and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
    and Numbers (ICANN) strongly urging both groups to undertake a formal review
    of VeriSign's registry position.
    
    In this special interview, CircleID has caught up with Bob Parsons,
    President and Founder of Go Daddy, where he provides in-depth discussions of
    Internet Innovation, ICANN, VeriSign's Global Registry Services, Top-Level
    Domains and the current legal battles.
