Re: [ga] Grace and Redemption

["L. Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

My point is that the registrant has to use the email address to contact 
the system in order to verify the transaction (email verification).  Many 
registrants use their domain for email and some even just for email, so 
that they do not have to continually change email addresses if they 
change ISPs, etc.  So, going to a neighbor to use his email addy is not 
going to do anything.  It won't compute.  That has been one of the 
bugaboos when people do change email addresses due to ISP 
changes, especially when it is due to an ISP failure or other emergency 
change.  Suddenly one can't do anything about modifying domain 
information and it all has to be done by phone.  With Verisign it is 
extremely painful to do anything via phone or fax.  Other registrars do 
not even make their phone numbers public - or at least easy to find.  

It is an issue whether some feel otherwise or not.

The telephone or electric bill analogy is not a good one, IMO, since 
most people would be able to deal with that simply - by using another 
phone.  Verification of an email address is not necessary, nor is 
verification of the number from which you are calling.
