The Internet Corp for Assigned Names and Numbers said yesterday that it has succeeded in persuading a judge to essentially dismiss an antitrust lawsuit filed against it by VeriSign Inc, the company that describes ICANN as its "de facto regulator".

ICANN general counsel John Jeffrey told ComputerWire that the judge dismissed the first of seven claims in VeriSign's complaint, which was filed in February. VeriSign has until June 7 to rewrite and re-file the complaint, he said.

The suit centers around services such as Site Finder, which ICANN told VeriSign to turn off following public outcry last fall, and Waiting List Service, which ICANN has approved but only after long delays.

VeriSign reckons ICANN is acting outside of its US government mandate by preventing these services coming to market in a timely manner or at all. ICANN often says it is acting in the best interest of the stability of the internet.
