Sure :)  I will follow contributing.

The Decisions section [1] of the Charter reads:

  "The goal of the committee is to administer the Association and execute
   the decisions taken by the members. Therefore, all decisions will be
   voted upon by the membership."

  [1] http://gnuherds.org/charter#Decisions

As the domain name is one of the control pieces, IMHO the project should set 
the admin email address to address@hidden, so exposing clearly the 
project is in control of its members, as the association charter expose.

   Registrant:
     GNU Herds - Free Software Association
     address@hidden

   Admin:
     GNU Herds - Free Software Association
     address@hidden

   Tech Name:
     GNU Herds work team
     address@hidden

"gnuherds-app-dev@" just executes the decisions taken by "association@".
IMHO all fit with the membership Charter section [2].

If it is needed we must think a little more. The project is not in a hurry. We 
can follow talking about this subject if it is needed. The more opinions the 
better.

The goal is pass the below buy conditions [3], and at the same time improve 
the information reported by the "whois gnuherds.org" if it is possible:

 "All certificate requests (CSR) must contain an Organization Name (O) that
  is exactly the same that appears at public domain name registries as the
  owner of the domain."
