Paul, they are still referring to you
in their registration agreement:

https://www.droa.com/regpol.asp

"This Registration Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms and
conditions of your use of this domain name registration service to
register an Internet domain name, your registration of that domain name,
as well as other domain name related services. In this Agreement "you"
and "your" refer to each customer and "we", "us" and "our" refer to
eNom, Inc. (?Registrar?), the ICANN accredited Registrar and DRoA,
through which the services are being offered. This Agreement"
