I attempted to register my domain per your instructions, "Hello Daniel, Please note: It is important that you follow the instructions in this email, as soon as possible, to ensure your domain remains active.

Due to ICANN policy, all registrars are required to validate the email address for new domain registrations and changes to WHOIS information. Please use the link below and follow the instructions on the page to verify your email address with our parent registrar:". I followed the link, and I think it said I was already registered. Tried again, received this message:

The email you are responding to has expired. Please refer to a later email message from Melbourne IT concerning the domain name [ dannydjournal.com ] and follow the instructions provided.
Thank you.

So, what's my next step? Wait for a further email from Melbourne? Is my domain mine yet? Sorry for such elemental questions, complete newb here. Thanks.
