What purpose does an identity check serve?  How do you verify the
identity?  If a domain name is already registered, what value is there
to the "identity" check?  What identity are you verifying?  The 
individual requesting the update?  The company?  What happens when you
find yourself unable to navigate the County Clerk's office at 5:01PM
to look up that fictitious name filing?

If you want to establish identities, the time to do that is at
registration time - not crunch time.


Hello, my name is Joe Greco, I made a bad mistake registering the IP
addresses of dns1.sol.net, dns2.sol.net, dns4.sol.net, and dnsz.sol.net,
and I need you to change them to 216.218.130.2, 216.218.131.2,
216.218.132.2, and 216.218.132.2, respectively.  I have deposited $100
to you via PayPal to cover the sudden-change fee.


Now YOU tell ME what purpose an identity check serves.  ;-)
