GoDaddy Petitions to Block .com Deal



Ed Oswald writes on BetaNews:

Domain name registrar GoDaddy.com said Monday that it had filed a petition with the Department of Commerce to block an agreement between ICANN and VeriSign. The company said it wanted the deal sent back to the Internet's governing body to ensure fairer terms on the stewardship of the .com top-level domain.

GoDaddy said that it, along with a majority of .com registrars, believe the terms of the agreement are unacceptable. VeriSign would be able to raise registration fees without justification in four of the next seven years, and retains "presumptive renewal" rights when the agreement ends in 2012.
