[thelist] Help w/ moving domain

Greetings all:  I need some help with moving a domain name.  Here's the
situation.  I registered a new domain name, about a year ago, with an
outfit in California (legal registrars) because we already had a site
with them.  

Now, we want to move it to a local ISP because they will host a
non-profit for free and also because we have the dial-up for e-mail
there.  

At this point I've changed the name servers to point to the new hosts. 
The site "went down" over the weekend because it hasn't been implemented
yet w/ the new hosts.  

The WHOIS information shows Tech Name (old hosts), but with the new
"name servers" added.  When I called the old people they said I should
leave the tech name as theirs because that would be the only way someone
could tell who the Registrar was.  My new hosts are saying they MUST be
listed as Tech.  The old people said the new ISP just "wanted control
over the domain name" and that it didn't matter technically who was
listed.  Anyone have any help about this.  This whole area is rather new
to me.

Surely hope I've given you enough information to understand what I'm
asking.

Thanks!
Donna
