I noticed the domain is registered with tucows, I have before delt with
situations like this where the authorized domain contact had seperated from the
organization and refused to participate in the update of the authorized contact.
If you keep it at the same registrar and just update the administrator contact
it gets pretty easy.
Is the centos organization an US based entity?
