I receive these sorts-of notices from our OpenSRS-based registrar numerous times a year (usually once a month, for multiple domains). It may have something to do with the fact that I refuse to comply with ICANN's mandatory regulation demanding legitimate public contact information in WHOIS records.
(If someone wants to hear my reasoning, I'll be more than happy to share.)
OK... I'll nibble. I don't think you get this more than anyone else because of your stance. But perhaps that will change now that you've publically declared your resistance. ;-) It's incredibly important that there be accurate contact information for a domain. If you don't want to list any one person, for a particular role, you may opt to use role accounts. Unless I've misread and misunderstood the policy, neither the contacts nor the registrant need be a natural person. Contacts can be role accounts and the registrant can certainly be a legal entity instead of an individual. Additionally, if you have privacy concerns (which I can certainly understand and respect), many Registrars offer proxy contact options for a nominal fee. - Christopher ======================
