The problem is, they are not defined by ICANN or any relevant agreement. So
I did...taken from
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-provreg-dn-defn-00.txt
Contact, Administrative: The administrative contact is an
individual, role or organization authorized to interact with the
registry or registrar on behalf of the Domain Holder. The
administrative contact should be able to answer non-technical
questions about the domain name's registration and the SLD Holder.
In all cases, the Administrative Contact is viewed as the
authoritative point of contact for the domain name, second only to
the Registrant.
Registrant: See "Domain Holder"
Domain Holder: The individual or organization that registers a
specific domain name. This individual or organization holds the
right to use that specific domain name for a specified period of
time, provided certain conditions are met and the registration fees
are paid. This person or organization is the "legal entity" bound by
the terms of the relevant service agreement with the registry
operator for the TLD in question.
