It is almost impossible these days to sign onto a mailing list or get a free id on some web site without clicking on a link in an e-mail. Yet apparently, you can register a domain name without such a nicety.
Quite right. Mail verification is a solved problem.
Yes and no
it's solved only if you assume that all domain registrations are done via websites .. They're not
What other methods are used?
Several of the registrars take orders in person or over the phone In some countries credit cards etc., aren't that widely used ..
Feeling like this will be a dense question, but I can only think of ccTLDs using manual or semi-manual systems of completed forms sent by email or fax (in themselves with the level verification being asked built in).
And do you know if there's a breakdown of how registrations are completed by method (x % by web, x % by fax, x % other means?)
I wouldn't have those figures - sorry
Adam
Phone verification is a lot more costly,
I'm not sure I believe that. I use a variety of services that verify transactions by calling my phone number and speaking a code number I have to type into their web site. Given how low value some of the transactions are, they can't be spending much on their IVR system.
Hopefully going forward, we will not make these kind of mistakes again.
My, you're an optimist.

I've been known to take registrations in person after church, with payment in cash, but that still doesn't intefere in the least with verifying the email address associated with the registration.

+1 and in fact the rule should be no email address should be left invalid for more than 3 months. On 27 September 2012 10:12, John R. Levine <johnl@iecc.com> wrote:
