I'd tend to agree. Allowing the change to be made by fax without the
RSP being consulted opens up the door to "human engineering" from a
security aspect, in hijacking a domain or its passwords. E.g.
Oracle.com, GM.com, and BMO.com are large corporations that have their
names at OpenSRS. It would be trivial for a disgruntled employee to
send a fax on company overhead.

Having "Domain Lock" thankfully would prevent any harmful changes -- I
guess it's time to go through all the rest of my names now (I have to
do them manually one at a time, as I use only the RWI at present).

Sincerely,
