Domain ownership question

[Kaspian]

Hello folks,

My question is: where is that clearly stated that according to ICANN registrant is the owner of the domain? Or at least that registrant has a right to claim the domain?

I feel like a noob, like everybody knows about that I don't. I've read ICANN resolution policy and other docs at their website and I still can't see where it is clearly stated.

Note: I'm not interested in "legal" matter of ownership (who owns a domain according to state laws or whatever). I'm only interested in ICANN / registrars policy.

Thanks for your replies.

Hi Kaspian, your one and only mistake was to think that ICANN would state anything 'clearly'!
