Wow, I never realised VeriSign was a Symantec brand. I'm not sure what it says that Google doesn't trust the company that operates the registry for .com

- cbhl 9y agoOperating a domain registry and issuing EV certificates require different levels of trust. Don't read too much into Alphabet/Google using other gTLDs instead of .com, like https://abc.xyz https://abc.xyz or https://blog.google https://blog.google -- that's separate work done by separate people on a separate team.
- CydeWeys 9y agoWe are in contact, though. Don't read too little into it either ;)
- kuschku 9y agoFrom my own experience with TLDs, .com, .info, etc are the worst to deal with. It’s insane how wrong they get the TRANSFER process, and everything. On the other hand, I’m positively surprised by how well DENIC (.de) handles it all.
- bckygldstn 9y agoVerisign's SLL authentication business was spun off and sold to Symantec a while ago, but Verisign continues to operate the .com registry as a separate company.
