Business Wire
VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), a global provider of domain name
registry services and internet infrastructure, today issued the
following statement regarding the ICANN Board of Directors decision
on the .web auction:
We are pleased that the ICANN Board of Directors completed its
review of the Independent Review Process Panel’s Final Declaration
and concluded that Verisign’s participation with Nu Dot Co LLC
(NDC) in the 2016 .web auction was appropriate and within ICANN’s
policies and guidelines, and that ICANN should proceed in
processing NDC’s application for .web. We now look forward to NDC’s
execution of the .web Registry Agreement and submission to ICANN of
the request for assignment of the .web Registry Agreement to
Verisign.
As the most experienced and reliable registry operator, Verisign
is uniquely positioned to widely distribute .web domain names,
while operating the .web registry at the highest level of security,
stability, and resiliency. Our track record of more than a quarter
century of uninterrupted DNS availability for .com and .net
reflects our commitment to the businesses and individuals who will
use and depend on .web domain names.
We look forward to working with ICANN and NDC to finalize the
disposition of .web, and to sharing our plans for launching and
growing this exciting new top-level domain.
As we stated during our earnings call on April 27, our 2023
financial guidance does not currently reflect the potential launch
of .web. Any changes to our guidance will be publicly disclosed by
the Company.
