i've had to deal with this issue frequently.
changes to the administrative, technical, or billing contact information
can be submitted by email or through the form interface at the 'NIC (which
generates the email request, sends it to you, and then you send it back).
the snag is that any changes have to be approved by the technical contact,
or they don't get entered into the 'NIC's database.
anyone can walk through the forms and generate a change request, and can
submit that request to the 'NIC. thing is, that request is then forwarded
to the tech contact asking for approval ("type ACK on line 1a") and
resubmission.
the thing which requires a fax is a change in the ownership of the domain
itself. that's a matter which involves legal licensing, and can get the
'NIC sued if something goes haywire, so they demand a signed fax before
they'll agree to enter that information into the databases.
if the IPP is being a nuisance, i'd suggest hitting the forms and
generating a change request, then sending it to the 'NIC about thirty
times. call the IPP and feign dummy mode, asking if they've seen anything
about a change request, because you think you've submitted it, but haven't
gotten a confirmation message, and was wondering if you should just keep
trying, because their servers are busy and all..
there's nothing like a good spamming disguised as cluelessness to get a
tech off their butt.
