Hmm, the domain was only registered on July 24th, so it is possible it is still in the verification stage? The registrant has 15 days to complete the verification, according to the RAA. The way this works (for those not as much into this as others) is that the domain is registered and if the email address is not previously verified, the verification method is triggered and the domain suspended if the verification is not successful after 15 days.
Or potentially, in this case, the email was not verified, but the telephone number was?
Best,
Volker
I should have used the term verify as used in the 2013 RAA the following was not done by Onlinenic.com
the email address of the Registered Name Holder (and, if different, the Account Holder) by sending an email requiring an affirmative response through a tool-based authentication method such as providing a unique code that must be returned in a manner designated by the Registrar,Susan KawaguchiDomain Name ManagerFacebook Legal Dept.

Anyway, the address is valid, as in actually exists, hence the initial "validation". You don't need me to tell you that a large number of registrars simply automate the address check process and when complaints arise, they can claim that they had conducted validation checks. More often than not (in my experience) the complaint is then dropped by ICANN.
As silly as this sounds, if the sender address is not monitored, then the reply that it's not valid will simply not be read. I also see that they ask you to "contact your domain name Service Provider for direct assistance" if you need to correct any information. Again, don't contact us, it's not our problem.

We received a WDRP notice as you can see below. No way to validate the information and I responded that it is NOT valid… Completely out of compliance in my opinion.

Please point me to the section where that are in compliance with RAA 2013
The only occurance occurrance of getting a domain as OK without validation are if the Registrant ID are validated from before and no changes are done. In that case it indicates FB have validated the info

Benny,
If the information provided ticks the boxes then it's validated. Most checks are retrospective as this takes time and time is money...

As Susan mentions, all they need is a few days. At least the registrar actually conducted validation checks, many don't.

The registrar sent an email to Domain@fb.com which I received but I immediately responded it was not a valid registration and asked for transfer. No word yet.
All phishers need is a few days to use the domain name.

Hello All,
Attached is a use case we run into frequently, bad actors will use valid Facebook information in the registration data to make the registration to appear authentic.
