Default Lock down your domains.

ICANN has announced changes to their domain transfer policy. Now
transfers are implicitly "approved" if the domain is not LOCKED and there
is no response from the registrant within 5 calendar days.

Make sure your domains are locked or you risk getting them swiped. Stay
safe out there.

That is all,
Grey

i envisage a lot of people losing their domains because they haven't
kept their details up to date. an excellent opportunity for some
extortion.

This change goes into effect TOMORROW (Nov 12, 2004) and does not seem to
include country code TLDs like co.uk or .tk. These domains are not
managed by separate entities, not ICANN.
