>>> Hello Ali, 
>>> 
>>> On May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation will take effect. This means the WHOIS will “disappear”. In the new public record system, personal data will no longer be visible either to individuals or Sedo. So far we were able to verify from the WHOIS records that you are the legitimate owner of the domains you listed for sale. This means it will be much harder for us to match your account data with the WHOIS information in order to clear your domains for sale on our site.
>>> 
>>> The Solution: Our Owner Self-Verification. With the Owner Self-Verification, you can quickly prove your ownership of any domain you list for sale. Even on weekends and holidays!
>>> 
>>> 
>>> 3 steps to Owner Self-Verification
>>> Sedo provides you with a personal ID in your account under "Domain Management" under the tab "Owner Self-Verification".
>>> Copy it and enter it at your registrar. To do this, visit your registrar and make this update within the DNS settings.
>>> Enter your verification ID into the TXT record field of your domains. If your registrar needs you to submit a Hostname, simply enter “@”. Also, if you need to enter a TTL value, please enter “3600”.
>>> Your ownership will be verified once the DNS information is updated. With your support, we can ensure that only domains that have owner-verified credentials are still listed on the marketplace.
>>> 
>>> 
>>> Fetch ID and Confirm Ownership
>>> 
>>> 
>>> No Owner Self-Verification = longer wait times
>>> 
>>> If you do not perform the Owner Self-Verification, it will take at least 3 business days for your domains to be listed for sale. During the review period, we will randomly check individual domains and may contact you to request proof of ownership (e.g., in the form of an up-to-date screenshot of the domain entry).
>>> 
>>> 
>>> Owner Self-Verification is not available for domain parking
>>> 
>>> If you already use Sedo's domain parking and forward your domains through our domain name servers (DNS), Owner Self-Verification is currently unavailable. DNS forwarding enables your domains to be automatically listed for sale without waiting time. As of now, nothing changes for you.
>>> 
>>> 
>>> We want to provide buyers and sellers with a safe and user-friendly platform at all times and look forward to your support. Do you have questions about owner verification? Our Customer Support Team is happy to answer them.
