Re: [port-srv-reg] Inconsistent terminology regarding "Administrative Contact" and "Technical Contact"

This is why we suggested the following terminology:

o  Registrant: Name and email address of the Registrant. This is REQUIRED. The Registrant is the Organization or Company responsible for the initial registration.  For registrations done through IETF-published RFCs, the Registrant will be the IESG.

   o  Contact: Name and email address of the Contact person for the registration. This is REQUIRED. The Contact person is the responsible person for the Internet community to send questions to.  This person would also be authorized to submit changes on behalf of the Registrant.  Additional address information MAY be provided.  For registrations done through IETF-published RFCs, the Contact will be the IESG.

This also fits well with other registries where we will be applying the same concept.
If there is a better word for "registrant" I'm open for suggestions.

Except it's not an "owner", because we have, in previous versions of
the draft, taken pains to stress that no one except IANA "owns" a
port or service name:

    It is important to note that ownership of registered port numbers
and
    service names remains with IANA.

Can we get some agreement on the terminology and concepts here?
