Is the ITU-T E.164 reference used to disallow Skype or similar services?
Is an email address considered more "verified" than a Skype/whatever

> " Verified Method of Communication: The use of a public

> 2. DELETE Section 11.4.2 (Telephone Number for Applicant's Place of

> "11.4.2 Verified Method of Communication
>
> (1) Verification Requirements: To assist in communicating with the

> (2) Acceptable Methods of Verification: To verify a Verified Method of 
> Communication with the Applicant, the CA MUST:
>
> (A) Verify that the number or address belongs to the Applicant, or a 
> Parent or Affiliate of the Applicant, by matching it with one of the 
> Applicant's Places of Business in: (i) records provided by the 
> applicable phone company; (ii) a QGIS, QTIS, or QIIS; or (iii) a 
> Verified Legal Opinion or Verified Accountant Letter; and

> (B) Confirm the Verified Method of Communication by using it to obtain

> can be contacted reliably by using the Verified Method of Communication.

> 3. In subsection 11.13.1(1)(D), REPLACE "Telephone number for Place of 
> Business" with "Verified Method of Communication."
