Thanks all. Yeah, I realize I have to do it. I guess it's not entirely a
bad thing.

It just surprised me because I've never had to do that before. My inner
phishing alert went off at first when I got the email.

I heard an old podcast the other day -- for muggles, not techies -- where
the host was talking about the U.S.'s move to give up control of ICANN.
They said something like "until now there's been relatively little
controversy in the humdrum dealings of ICANN". I about choked on my soda
with surprise. Luckily the guest on the show was polite enough to correct
the host's misconceptions.
