Also, you say that having an email address wasn't a requirement before. Can you please let me know exactly when it became a requirement? The registrar GoDaddy had it as a requirement. Why I ask you this is because my domain is fairly new. It was created on the 9th of June, 2005. Was it a requirement to have an email address in 2005? Please provide sufficient evidence if it was not. And if it was a requirement, then that just proves my point. As for your CNET Article link, thanks for that. I am thinking of mailing the editor of CNET as well as forwarding him the emails I received from you, including headers. The article was a good read. Your marketing department is excellent! :) Thank you.
Hello, I have replied to you via e-mail concerning the resolution of this affair, which is now closed. As a general note to all reading this thread: when no e-mail address has been provided to Gandi by the former registrar, we send the transfer authorization e-mail to the e-mail address of the administrative contact of the domain. In many cases, registrars do not have a separate e-mail address listed with the owner of a domain, which can lead to a problem of inaccessibility following a transfer - especially if the name of the administrative contact is not the same as the owner. Before initiating a transfer, please ensure that the whois data for the domain's owner is correct and up-to-date, and that your registrar has listed a specific e-mail address as belonging to the owner.
