This is true. But it is not symbolic for us : owner name can NOT be changed
online by any contact of the domain. This makes sure that in case of
disputes, the owner stay exactly the same.

If the owner comes to us asking
to change the contacts of *its* domain name (dispute with its hosting
company, etc...), we change them.

Experience has shown that cases like that happen.

With some other Registrars owner name can be changed online by any
contact in 2 minutes. This make the notion of ``ownership'' a little
blurry in our eyes, and that is why we do not do it.
