Does power of attorney mean that the Reseller can then enter their 
contacts details as the Registrant Email and Contact name in the Whois 
database thereby ensuring all communications from auDA, ausRegistry or 
the Registrar would go to the reseller only, including registry key 
requests.

Would the Reseller have to give proof of power of attorney for each 
domain in question?
