Something I've always wanted to ask - how can Gandi confer ownership when in
fact, it is not yours to confer? What I mean is, ICANN and the registries
deal with "Registered Name Holders" and not "owners" - what does Gandi do
that allows them to confer ownership of the domain upon the registrant?

Note: This is not a loaded question, rather, just an honest one.
