<p class="MsoPlainText">Gerv -- we always allowed attorney letters in the past. <o:p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">For DV/OV, it was an "any other method" means of domain confirmation.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">For EV, it was explicitly allowed under the EVGL (and there are still references to it in the template Attorney Letter attached to the EVGL), but
<i><u>by mistake</u></i> we deleted the reference when we changed EVGL 11.7 simply to a cross reference to BR 11.1.1 – we accidentally dropped the old reference to using attorney-accountant letters for EV domain confirmation (I can give you a version number
reference to the old EVGL if you want to confirm). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">So the proposal just corrects that mistake and adds back in a method we have always permitted for domain confirmation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This is useful when the Domain Name Registrant has licensed the domain to the Customer, or when the parent-sub relationship is not reported correctly, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">If I understand this correctly, then I am opposed. I don't see why a lawyer or an accountant is an appropriate authority on the subject of who controls a domain. Domain control can only be properly validated either by the registrar who
issued the domain, the registrant listed in WHOIS, or some practical demonstration of control. No-one else's opinion matters.<o:p></o:p></p>
