Quoting Mark Weisler (mark at weisler-saratoga-ca.us):
> I chatted with Heather last night about our site a bit. We talked about the
> entities listed as contacts with our registrar, joker.com.
> From my 'whois' (below) it appears that we have contacts for:
>
> *registrant
> *administrative contact
> *technical contact
add: *billing contact.
To recap, Joker's FAQ at
https://joker.com/ -> FAQ/Help -> Renewals -> Announcements
says:
Announcements
8 weeks before a domain at Joker.com expires, we will send an email to
the account holder (i.e. the individual who registered the domain, using
the email address which has been used for authorization/login when
registering). If we do not receive an answer from the account holder
within 4 weeks, we will inform all other contact addresses (owner-contact,
admin-contact, tech-contact, billing-contact). This procedure will be
repeated once after a period of 2 weeks.
Registrant fields have name, organisation, address, phone, e-mail, optional fax.
Admin contact fields, ditto.
Tech contact fields, ditto.
Billing contact fields, ditto.
The FAQ also warns:
Warning: Wrong contact
The owner of a domain is responsible for keeping the data of the
contacts valid. The owner must make sure that the addresses (email and
postal) are in use and that the messages are read. An invalid address
in the owner-record is reason to cancel the domain.
The FAQ also says:
Who can administer/change my domain?
By asking our 'Search Whois' (entering your domain name) you will see
who can make modifications to your domain: the owners of the email
address of the
* owner
* admin-contact
* tech-contact
* billing-contact
have to log in with the respective email address.
However, in practice, we've given out the password corresponding to
joker.com login "svlugdomain at starshine.org" to all people trusted to
handle the svlug.{org|net} domain records, without regard to who is
listed for the various contacts.
Gentlemen --
You two are in charge of SVLUG, so I've been deferring to your wishes.
Nothing's been happening, so far. Would you like me to just sprinkle
my, Paul's, and Mark's names, residential addresses, e-mail addresses,
and telephone numbers around admin, tech, and billing for svlug.org and
svlug.net? If so, please, both of you, provide the USPS address,
telephone number, and e-mail address you want used. Be aware that this
information will become public. As noted, all such data should be real,
not faked or erroneous.
