Hi, Personally, I like it right where it is, where everyone can see it. :-)
Any parsing scripts that assume that the first e-mail address will be the admin contact have flawed logic, and deserve to become broken. Also, does the order of the links in manage.cgi really reflect importance? Is the Organization Contact really more important then the Admin Contact? Are Name Servers really less important then "Profile", or Contacts? If you want your website to work, I'd say it's very important. Much more important then the tech contact, which has no power over anything, and doesn't receive important notices like admin and billing.

To further defend my case for moving the reseller contact below the domain owner contacts, note how on the OpenSRS manage.opensrs.net interface, the sections are listed in the following order: Profile | Organization | Admin | Billing | Technical | Name Servers | Reseller Contact | Logout This order reflects importance. This order seems very natural to me. I'd suggest that, just like this interface, the reseller contact should be listed after the admin, billing and technical contacts (and possibly the name servers).
