[sf-lug] Good domain name registrar

IMO, the Registrant should be the _business_, in the case of a
corporation or partnership (or LLC, etc.) -- because that is in fact 
the 'person' that is persistant.  For a sole proprietorship,
absolutely it should be the principal, not someone else.

However, please note that Google, Inc. is fine with the Registrant being
the 'Dns Admin' role, which is not any specific person at all.
Likewise, Apple, Inc. has it be 'Domain Administrator', Facebook, Inc. 
has it be 'Domain Administrator', Oracle, Inc. has it be 'Domain
Administrator', Adobe System, Inc. has it be 'Domain Administrator', and
Cisco Technology, Inc. has it be 'Info Sec' at their respective
corporations for their respective main corporate domains.  I really
think there is no potential for trouble that a stiff letter from
Corporate Legal wouldn't squash in a heartbeat.
