For all that I'm critical of wildcards in TLDs -- I spoke at the
meeting yesterday, and my slides are on my Web page -- I don't think
there are any issues of malfeasance. No one has been looting
Verisign's coffers, they're not cooking the books, etc. I see three
issues: is this technically wise, did Verisign have the right to do
this under their current contract with ICANN, and should they have such
a right. I don't see anything resembling dishonesty.
