RE: [registrars] Registrant Information Inquiry

["Tara Frump" <tfrump@stargateinc.com>]

BobC:

It is our customer that wants to have his Registrant name changed to
"Owner."  Their company name is currently listed as the Registrant, and for
privacy reasons, they are requesting that we change this name to "Owner."
This is not something that we are requesting, nor referring to our service
as.  This is a customer requesting a change to his Registrant information.

We are looking for any feedback from the other registrars regarding this.

Thanks!

Tara

Dear Tara:  Phil Scarbaro cautions all of us to avoid that word,
"Owner".  As "Registrars", we provide a service, we don't sell a "thing",
we provide a service.

That said, I'm not sure what you mean by "that of Owner".  Can you provide
additional details?
