ICANN's new rules for domain registrants require you to verify an email address

That was not my question.

Right now, they only ask for confirmation once a year regardless of whether there has been any change of contact info. But OP makes it look like I'll have to verify my email address every time it changes, and one of the main features of WhoisGuard is that the email address in my whois changes all the time.

If I tell NameCheap/WhoisGuard to rotate my email every day (probably overkill, but it's possible), will I wake up every morning to find a new confirmation link in my inbox?

You'll only have to confirm any underlying email changes in your example. However, the new ICANN contract also mandates a yet to be defined "Privacy and Proxy Accreditation Program", which will bring changes to the different whois privacy services that registrars currently offer.

I wasn't really trying to answer your question, just adding context.

As far as I know, the address confirmations are for your real address details. Namecheap isn't asking you to confirm the whoisguard details, and presumably the new provisions will function the same way.
