I have received a request to update the DNS entries for fi.pycon.org. I can handle the technical aspects of that change, but wanted to make sure I was doing enough to verify the identity of the person asking for the change. Do we have procedures for this sort of thing? I have suggested creating a page on the old server with a name that doesn't exist right now. Is there something else I can/should do? (Or can anyone vouch for Jyrki and let us skip this step?)
