I am a member of a non-profit. Years ago, one of our members set up a 
web site and put everything in his name. Well, he died and now the web 
site is down. Well, it's "suspended" which I take to mean we haven't 
paid for the web site since the guy died.

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 
enom.com to regain control over our domain, right?
