Netzar writes "A long-awaited report evaluating the impact of VeriSign's controversial Site Finder service was released [pdf] by ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) last week. The report slams Site Finder and calls for a permanent end to the service. Stephen Crocker, the chairman of the committee (one of the original members of the team that developed Arpanet) has offered to directly interact with the members of the Internet community. 'As an advisory committee,' says Crocker, 'our focus is to give ICANN and the community our best advice regarding security and stability issues for the domain name system and the addressing system. ...As we all know, VeriSign is in the process of suing ICANN on a number of matters, including ICANN's response to their registry change last September. Although VeriSign now contends that a number of us on the committee are "Site Finder co-conspirators" the next steps are really up to the ICANN board, the ICANN staff and the many members of the technical and operating community who run the domain name system.'"
