EBS is the registrant.  Doug Smith is the billing contact.  Having dealt
with the labyrinthine Network Solutions (now Verisign) registration
procedure as technical contact for about half a dozen domains, I can
just point out that Network Solutions consider the administrative
contact the ultimate authority over a domain's "service agreement" (to
use their lingo).  That would be Dale Churchett in this case.

BTW, I don't see Andy Gilham's name in any of the above.  He may be
privy to the modification routes/passwords for the domain records, but
he isn't officially the owner or steward of that domain in any sense.
EBS may have pointed www.hawkwind.com to a WWW site he controls, but
they could very well point it somewhere else.  (Note, "they," not Andy,
as "they" ultimately control the DNS.)

Not wishing to take a stand, but merely to inject the perspective of
someone who has recently had (frustratingly) to administer several
domains via Network Solutions (and set up local nameservers)...

Cheers,

Paul.
