I see that Mark Mcfadden's checkin yesterday changed:

However, other places in the document still refer to "Administrative  
Contact" and "Technical Contact", which no longer make sense.

Why was this changed? Do we need to reverse this change, or change  
the rest of the document to be consistent?
