I received an expiration notice from Godaddy for a SSL I purposely let expire. The email contained some text I have never seen in a GD email before and I was curious if any of you guys are aware of this. (I never signed up for Domain Protection services)
One or more of your domain names is PROTECTED. Expiration Protection means you've avoided loss of registration due to credit card expiration, failed billing, outdated contact information – even simple forgetfulness. Your domain(s) will remain protected for 1 year, at which point it will be put up for redemption if left unrenewed.
...
Note: Domain names with protected registration will automatically renew. The renewal settings cannot be changed and the service cannot be canceled without the listed registrant submitting documentation.

What exactly does this mean - especially for domains I plan to drop? How did I get signed up?
GD customer support seems a little clueless. They are listing domains that I let expire as the ones I have domain protection on. Basically they are explaining to me how things have always worked at GD - when this seems to be new and mentions I must submit documents to change my renewal settings.
