In a letter sent to VeriSign on Friday, ICANN CEO Paul Twomey told the domain registry that it had until 6 PM Saturday to comply with a request to take down the SiteFinder service. At some point on Saturday, VeriSign complied with the request and turned off the redirection service for mistyped .com and .net domains. Having failed to convince VeriSign to suspend its Web redirection service that began September 15th, the body that oversees all domain registrars pointed to contract violations and demanded that VeriSign halt the service.
