Hi Jim Things happen and all we need to do here in such cases is to mail or fax this properly signed and confirmed letter of authorization to the registrar. Of course, if the registrar accepts digitally signed email, that could be uses as well if you have a digital signature issued by a certifier accepted by the registrar. /gustav >>> accessd at shaw.ca 12-03-2005 07:51:10 >>> Hi All: I have run into a bit of an issue with a client and their Domain registration. I was called in after the company that held the DNS went broke and the client's site when off line. Fortunately, the company that handled the actual Domain registration was unaffected. Another twist to this tale is that the Administration contact person was not the actual site owner but a friend. The friend has since left town and has traveled back east and is no longer checking her emails...(She may have abandoned her email as it was through a Shaw a cable provider.) In order to update or relocate the site the request has to be validated through the Administration Contact person's email. See the reply upon requesting an email change from the administration of the Domain Registrar. <comment from Registrar> I wish I could, but ICANN rules forbid us from doing that, and they could shut us down if we change domain details without a signed letter of authorization from the legal registrant :( </comment from Registrar> The question is, is there a way to pass a certified, registered and possibly notarized legal document through email? Now this is a good security question. MTIA Jim
