This is too broad a definition, and is factually incorrect. For
instance the HANDLE information is not owned by the DN
holder.

I do. For instance, (SP7089), is owned by the REGISTRY and is
assigned to the REGISTRANT, with permissions from the REGISTRY
perhaps for the REGISTRAR to use with some restrictions of course.
