On November 16, 2004, Judge Gerald Rosenberg ruled that the Superior Court of California is not the proper venue to legally decide the case filed by Register.com against ICANN and Verisign regarding the issue of WLS. The court decided to dismiss or alternatively, stay the First, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eight causes of action against Verisign on the basis of forum non conveniens. The court pointed that the state of Virginia is the proper venue for the complaint.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/legal/registersite-v-icann/ps-and-as-support-motion-to-dismiss-or-stay-05nov04.pdf Register.com vs. Verisign and ICANN]</ref>

==WLS Negotiation==
In 2004,The ICANN Board delegated it's president [[Paul Twomey]] and general counsel [[John O. Jeffrey]] to negotiate amendments with Verisign regarding the Waiting List Service. The ICANN Board conducted procedural reviews, reconsidered all the requests raised by registrars and Verisign and eventually approved a resolution based on the outcome of the negotiations. Part of the negotiation is a condition wherein ICANN will seek the approval of the Department of Commerce to amend its registry agreement with Verisign to allow the implementation of the service and to avoid violation of the .net agreement. Verisign refused to amend its .net agreement with ICANN and secure an approval from the Department of Commerce.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/legal/verisign-v-icann/icann-net-arbitration-request-12nov04.pdf International Chamber of Commerce International Court of Arbitration ICANN vs. Verisign]</ref>
