Heya,
This is just a quick warning for those of you who own domains, if your service supports a domain 'lock', I'd highly recommend you enable it; since now people can poach your domains over to their registry (ala the infamous 'Net Registry of America' type scams), as long as you dont explicitly deny it.

"For those who believe the rules do nothing to prevent an unscrupulous registrar from hijacking domains, they would be doing so with the risk of losing their registrar status from ICANN." This change is a good one. Registrars were forcing people to jump through some pretty insane hoops just to get their domain to a new registrar. _____________________
