I hold all my domains through eNom resellers. They all get this message as well.
This is, to the best of my knowledge, an actual ICANN requirement.I do, however, disagree with the methodology they employ to verify the information is correct. Shouldn't it be a case-by-case reactive review (ie., someone with a problem points out to ICANN that the information is invalid) rather than this "spamalicious" proactive one?

I got that same email from them. I also transferred my domaines to a different registrar. `mike` Andrew van der Stock wrote:I have my domains registered with a popular registrar, and they've sent the most phishy e-mail I've ever seen from a major provider:--- Dear Andrew van der Stock,It's that time of year again. ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) annually requires that all accredited registrars (like Go Daddy(R)) ask their domain administrators/ registrants to review domain name contact data, and make any changes necessary to ensure accuracy.To review/update your contact data, simply: + Go to www.godaddy.com/?isc=ICANNKEY+ Click on the "ICANN Domain Confirmation" icon at the top of the page + You will be taken to a landing page and asked to enter your Domain Information Key: <removed>+ Enter your key and click "Go." (more phish deleted) ---I confirmed with the registrar that indeed they did send this phishy e-mail. How do we get through to large organizations - who really should know better - that they most of all shouldn't smell like a phish market?thanks, Andrew
