In some sense you are right, due to the fields reads "First Name", "Last 
Name".

Yes, that is my personal opinion.

Yes, you are right. I propose the primary contact be the mailing lists 
theyself, as exposed above in the "Email" field, no some specific person 
which could change from year to year, so needing to update the domain name 
info again.


We have already sent several pseudo-official emails when we were talking with 
RMS.  We used as "From" field of such emails the below email address, signing 
the email with its GPG key.

As it was adviced by MJ Ray, we sign emails with the below keys when 
sending 'official' emails. Who is responsible of sending such emails is an 
open question.

   GPG key for:
       GNU Herds - Free Software Association <address@hidden>

   GPG key for:
       GNU Herds work team <address@hidden>

For example: 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnuherds-app-dev/2007-12/msg00023.html

What do you think?
