If changes are made to the Whois information for a Certified Domain, we instantly detect the change and re-initiate the domain authorization and validation process to ensure that the Certified Domain holder still controls the domain.

Once a change has been detected, we send out domain authorization email messages to the domain's registrant, administrative, and technical contacts as listed in the updated Whois information. As with the initial authentication process, all three recipients must approve the Certified Domain request.
