Dear Members:  This Email came from "Domain Renewal" <reminder@domainrenewalonline.com>.

It is my own domain.  How could this information have been obtained without misuse of Whois?

I think the RC should take strong action against this kind of attempted transfer.  I think action by ICANN would be appropriate.

It is interesting to contemplate how domainrenewalonline.com would obtain the authcode in order to effect a transfer.

Perhaps I should let it get transferred to discover who the new registrar is.  Doubtless the offending firm is a reseller for an ICANN Accredited Registrar, perhaps even an unwitting member of our Constituency.
