Verisign has retracted its plan to terminate 22,000 domain names and email redirects, following a long and costly battle. As a result, all existing .name domains and email redirects, including those registered at the third level, will remain active indefinitely, although new registrations for 3rd-level .name domains will be closed. This outcome is attributed to a collective effort by numerous individuals who contributed to the fight, including those who submitted formal reconsideration requests, filed letters of support, and advocated in person to ICANN, ultimately leading to a successful reversal of Verisign's initial decision.
