[*] CA Domain Registrars

[Sean Walberg]

This was a .org. And same kind of idea -- the contact was a shaw address
that got cancelled.

The emails I get from other registrars are more along the lines of "we have
to contact you once a year, here is what we have on file, if it is wrong
please change it otherwise ignore this message". Not a domain dead man
switch.
