Important, all Go Daddy customers read!!!!
 

******************************************
Important Notice Regarding your Domain(s)
******************************************

Dear Valued Go Daddy Customer,

Effective November 12, 2004, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will institute a new transfer policy for all accredited domain name service providers.

The previous ICANN policy allowed us to deny requests to transfer your domain names to another registrar unless you explicitly confirmed to us your intent to transfer. The new ICANN policy removes that protection. Starting November 12, when we receive a request to transfer your domain name to a new registrar, we will still attempt to contact you to confirm that you authorized the request. However, if you do not respond, or are not able to respond within 5 days, your domain name WILL be transferred.

With this change in mind, we are recommending that all Go Daddy domain customers visit GoDaddy.com and "lock" their domain name(s). Locking your domain(s) is free and prevents unauthorized changes to contacts and name servers. Most importantly, it prevents the domain name from being transferred to another registrar without your knowledge. You may lock or unlock your domain at any time.

To lock your domain names:

Go to: https://www.godaddy.com/?isc=gdficgdout
Click My Account and enter your username or customer number and password.
Click Manage Domains.
Select the domain name(s) that you wish to lock.
Click Set Locking. In the right side pane, select "Lock" and save your changes.

After your changes have been submitted, there will be a short duration while your request is pending update. During this period, details of the domain(s) will be temporarily unavailable.

If you have any questions please email us at [email protected] or call our customer support line at (480) 505-8899.

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,
GoDaddy.com Domain Support

that could ultimately mean the loss of your domain name.
So make sure you lock up your domain names.

sounds like someone could make a killing by putting together a database of GoDaddy reg'd names and doing a few 1000 transfer requests a day ... I'm sure there are already plenty people doing that now huh?
