I got that same email from them.  I also transferred my domaines to a
different registrar.

Dear Andrew van der Stock,

It's that time of year again. ICANN (the Internet Corporation for 
Assigned Names and Numbers) annually requires that all accredited 
registrars (like Go Daddy(R)) ask their domain administrators/
registrants to review domain name contact data, and make any changes 
necessary to ensure accuracy.

To review/update your contact data, simply:
     + Go to www.godaddy.com/?isc=ICANNKEY
     + Click on the "ICANN Domain Confirmation" icon at the top of 
the page
     + You will be taken to a landing page and asked to enter your 
Domain Information Key: <removed>
     + Enter your key and click "Go."

(more phish deleted)

I confirmed with the registrar that indeed they did send this phishy 
e-mail. How do we get through to large organizations - who really 
should know better - that they most of all shouldn't smell like a 
phish market?

thanks,
Andrew
