Hi George When I received the email, it appeared to be a transfer request AWAY from Domain Registry of Canada, and my first reaction was "I don't have any domains registered with *them* (Duh!)", but then realized that it was somebody playing a little trick to try to hijack my domain and I immediately went and nacked the request.
That is the purpose of my first question: Can we find out where the request originated? Oh, but to answer your question, I would be in favour of an entry for preferred language.
