The reason behind this is that email is the de facto standard for internet communication, especially between organizations.
IIRC, the original point of multiple methodologies of contact was due to the desire to avoid single points of failure. That is, it was deemed (back in the day) unlikely that a network operator would be able to bork both their email and their phone (and their fax) at the same time, particular given phone/fax was based on different technology. Of course, since most phone/fax is now IP-based, that logic may not hold. Still, in keeping with the original intent of SPOF avoidance, I’d imagine a mandatory email + one other (technology neutral) would make sense. Regards, -drc
