I don't understand what VeriSign receives in return for their kowtow
(under the agreement, they basically waive any right to criticize
ICANN's role).
Two possible explanations:
* ICANN signalled a positive outcome of a future Sitefinder review
under the new process.
* ICANN promised to grant VeriSign the DNSSEC root and .ARPA
maintenance without tender (the "Root Server Management Transition
Agreement" goes into that direction; actually, the .ARPA stuff is
the interesting one).
* VeriSign has recognized that they couldn't win in court, and
suddenly want to play nice.
