If you let people know the domain name, you might have more luck — e.g someone who works at the registrar may look into it, etc. Also, it seems surprising that this would be an **ICANN** verification message… W On Fri, Feb 14, 2025 at 8:48 AM, Marco Belmonte <nanog@nanog.org> wrote:
The company I work for owns a domain that was registered by an employee that no longer works for us and we have been unable to track them down. 48 hours ago the website at the domain was replaced by an ICANN verification message.
It offers two solutions - neither is possible at the moment:
1) resend a verification email - but we already tried that and monitored the mailbox for the old employee but nothing ever came so we think he might have registered it with a personal account.
2) access the portal of the registrar but since don't have credentials and we already tried the reset password link hoping again that if we monitored his old corporate email account we'd see something appear but again nothing :-(
At this point we aren't sure what to do - the site is down and ICANN needs validation of who the site owners are. Does anyone have any ideas or can give us some direction?
