  I have recently taken over the Admin role for reigatebeekeepers.org.uk and rbkbblog.com (both on my own account with WordPress and the previuos Webmaster says that he has closed his WordPress account. But today he has received an email from (email visible only to moderators and staff), subject: Action required for domain activiation.
  He does not belive he needs to or should respond. But do I need too? We do not want the website(s) put on hold by default!
  Please advise.

  Thank you for the reassurance about domain rbkbblog.com.
  Is my other domain, reigatebeekeepers.org.uk, also looking OK?
  If so, presumably I can tell the previous webmaster of both domains(who received the unexpected activation request) that he can ignore the request.
