RE: ACTION-335 logotypes and ISSUE-96 discussion

The evidence here is from a statement made by the company at the recent VeriSign analyst day. I am trying to get a concrete reference.

OK we can dispute the accuracy of the statement as it was made by a vendor that could be accused as being self interested. But unlike the statements in the litterature the claim was made under civil and criminal penalties. Making a knowingly false statement to investors is a pretty serious offense these days.

Not beyond dispute but no source of information is.
