Hi Kirk,

The RSP has an obigation to verify the identity of a customer. I don't know
about you but I request some kind of proof that the person contacting me is
indeed the person and is employed by a certain company.

So the RSP should check if it is legit, you say it yourself !

You can only penalise the RSP if there are rules in place where the RSP is
supposed to do some checking of the identity of the customer.

I haven't said anyone is a bad apple, Tucows should however be carefull that
not all RSPs will be viewed as bad apples, just because a few of them are.
Therefore I plea for some additions to the RSP agreement to 'encourage' the
RSP to do some checking.

I have.
