Domain Name Email Verification is Contact Validation, not Authentication
To comply with ICANN and European Union NIS2 requirements, gTLD domain registrars must verify registrant email addresses. This "owner email verification" process was a topic of considerable discussion prior to and during the recent ICANN meeting.
ICANN is caught in a “failing to see the forest for the trees” situation: neither the findings nor the proposals address the real registrant verification issue.
An email address verification is not proof of identity: it’s a confirmation of control of an email inbox.
