In this case, the Administrative Contact would be required to authorize
the request. This is a big change over the current policy where
basically anyone can hold themselves out to be a representative of the
registrant. The new policy tightens this down significantly...example...

microsoft.com

Registrant: Microsoft Corp.
Admin Contact: Joe Smith, System Admin
Transfer authorized by: Bill Gates, on behalf of "Microsoft Corp."

Technically, this is an illegitimate authorization. Even though Bill is
authorized to act on Microsoft's behalf, the only real party authorized
to transfer this name is the admin contact seeing as how the Registrant
really can't authorized it themselves (being that its a company, not a
person...)
