I'd like to get our domain named moved to another site while we get the billing worked out. But the domain name is in the dead guy's name too. I think I can contact the sponsoring registrar to get the domain name back, right? Below is a dump of the output from whois with the dead guy's name and address changed for privacy purposes. I should contact <a href="http://enom.com" target="_blank">enom.com</a> to regain control over our domain, right?<br>
