So the question is now, who has who by the jugulars in this threesome
between ICANN, VeriSign and the Internet technical community? Or worded
even more clearly, who controls/owns who - VeriSign ICANN and the
Internet, or we ICANN and therefore VeriSign enough to not matter?

While any reasonable person would know what ICANN asked Verisign to do,
any prediction whether Verisign will adopt a passive-agressive posture
and inteprete the letter in a way to cause maximum disruption to all
users of the Internet and then blame ICANN?
ICANN told us to roll back the .COM/.NET zones to September 15 and stop
making changes; so we deleted all domain names registered after September
15 and undid all changes.

Given that ICANN is using the clauses in their contract with VeriSlime
to demand the removal of the wildcards, I suspect that any such move
by VeriSlime would trigger Bad Legal Things for VeriSlime.

Doubtful...they would have to refund money to those who registered or renewed
after September 15th...that would mean having to open their wallets...
