Alice registers a new domain name, say `myfundomain.net`,\r\n2. Alice gets a certificate for myfundomain.net (using ACME),\r\n3. Alice loses interest in the project and lets myfundomain.net expire.\r\n4. Bob has a similar idea and buys myfundomain.net from a reseller (possibly without knowing anything about Alice).\r\n5. Bob wants to use ACME to get a certificate for myfundomain.net (with the same domain provider as Alice, this will be realistic when/if *Let's encrypt* really takes of).\r\n\r\nNow Bob is unable to get a certificate for myfundomain.net because he does not have Alice's private key nor her recovery token and Alice's recovery contact is invalid for him."}}
