After you have created your Gandi handle, or logged in with your existing Gandi handle, you will be taken to the following screen: This screen displays the four (4) contacts that will be associated with your domain name. These contacts are the:

• Owner Contact (has all the rights to the domain)
• Administrative Contact (has all the rights as the owner, except cannot change owner, owner information, or registrar)
• Technical Contact (has the right to change the DNS settings of the domain)
• Billing Contact (only has the right to view the domain's invoices, cannot make any technical or administrative changes)

By default, the handle that you logged in under or just created will be assigned to all the contacts of the domain. Please take note of the handle in question, because if you have more than one handle, only this one will be associated with the domain.

If you are happy with the default setting, click on "Submit" without changing anything to continue with the creation process (Next)

You are given the opportunity at this stage to delegate each contact of the domain to a different person (handle).

To do so, you can either create a new handle by clicking on "create", which will bring up a contact creation form, or you can search for an existing one by clicking on the "Search" link next to the contact. This will bring up the following: You can either search for an existing handle if you know its e-mail address, or if you know that it is associated with another domain name. As an example, let's search for Jane Joe whose e-mail address we already know: According to the database, Jane has the handle, JD2730-GANDI. If I wanted to assign her as the contact, I would then click on "Select".
