I believe Jennifer asks some excellent questions. I'd also like to add mine
that I have asked a few times on these forums and to which many have offered
their opinions, but which have received no legal interpretation from OSRS:
>>>The person named as
administrative contact at the time the controlling user name and
password are secured shall be the owner of the domain name.<<<
Given the above statement from the agreement, what exactly are the purpose,
rights, responsibilities, and privileges of the person named as the
Organizational Contact?
If Acme, Inc. (the organization) assigns the domain administration to Wylie
Coyote, who was hired last month to maintain their servers, why does the
agreement give no rights of ownership for the domain to the Organization and
give full ownership rights to the person who is just supposed to administer
the domain?
I gave my secretary keys to the office, but that doesn't mean she owns the
building.

Subject: Transferring ownership
The end user faq says
4.How do I change ownership of my domain name? (ie. I want to sell it or
give it to someone else)
You can simply give your username and password to the new owner, and allow
them to change the contact information using the Manage Domain interface.
They should also change the domain's profile to a new one with a unique
username and password.
But then in the Domain Registration Agreement it says
14. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as
administrative contact at the time the controlling user name and
password are secured shall be the owner of the domain name.
You agree that prior to transferring ownership of your domain
name to another person (the Transferee") you shall require the
Transferee to agree, in writing to be bound by all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Your domain name will not be
transferred until we receive such written assurances or other
reasonable assurance that the Transferee has been bound by the
contractual terms of this Agreement (such reasonable assurance
as determined by us in our sole discretion) along with the
applicable transfer fee. If the Transferee fails to be bound in a
reasonable fashion (as determine by us in our sole discretion) to
the terms and conditions in this Agreement, any such transfer will
be null and void.
So which is it?
Also, although this passage is the same in both the agreement on my site
and OpenSRS's the dates are different for last revised. I put mine up in
May of last year, but the one on the OpenSRS's site says "Last Updated:
Monday, 29-Jan-2001 11:16:43 EST By: Ken Joy"
So what changed? Are we notified when the agreement changes so we can keep
ours up to date?
