Hello,
received this. First, thought it was a scam, but after checking mail header data, it seems mail was really from godaddy. Still didn't log. Have you received these mails and is this not a scam?

>It's that time of year again. ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned

It's not a scam. It's just a reminder to check over your contact data and make sure it's up to date.

Not 100% sure it's an ICANN requirement for you to follow the request from GoDaddy,
but it is a damm good idea to, regardlesss.
I try to check my clients domains 'routinely', but lets face it,
some clients can make it hard work.

Probably , godaddy right , icann want it. But the thing that i can't understand , what about domain shield / private registrations ? At this kind of registrations , when someone make whois query shows "false" informations ( actually registrar's information )

Whois Data Reminder Policy
At least annually, a registrar must present to the registrant the current Whois information, and remind the registrant that provision of false Whois information can be grounds for cancellation of their domain name registration. Registrants must review their Whois data, and make any corrections.

But the thing that i can't understand , what about domain shield / private registrations ? At this kind of registrations , when someone make whois query shows "false" informations ( actually registrar's information )

There's really no stopping anyone from making a WHOIS data report on any domain name, privacy or not. Depending on the registrar, they'll likely notify the user anyway to ensure it's complete and accurate.

All the more reason to be certain you get their emails.

People dislike godaddy because they are so persistent, but in my opinion this is a good thing in the broader sense of the phrase.
I actually always have my whois information out in the open and don't see why that should be a problem.
Haven't noticed a thing in regards to spam or anything, but then again I'm in europe so it might be worse in the u.s.

Anyway that was a bit off topic but I wanted to flag my opinion on godaddy while I had the chance :P
