I think it's understandable that Tucows wants to be very cautious and conservative before changing any domain record. Should Tucows simply change the ownership of Microsoft.com, Citicorp.com or any other valuable domain (especially domains owned by my company!) that are registered at Tucows based on someone's simple assertion that the name is "stolen?" There are 2 sides to every story. You should see some of the crackpot emails my company receives, it's incredible. Often, thieves themselves will attempt to use social engineering to claim a name is stolen, in order to steal it. I appreciate that Tucows is a professional organization that I can count on, unlike many of the alternatives. You might have a valid claim. But, due process is important. Sincerely, George Kirikos http://www.kirikos.com/ P.S. I don't think Tucows is perfect -- security can always be improved, and I'd still like to see some simple things be added (e.g. an email to a user-specified list of addresses upon every login to the RWI would be a trivial but very strong way to prevent and detect unauthorized use; even some credit card companies are starting to do this after every purchase). Ideally, this would be done by ALL registrars, for improved security of the entire industry. _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
