You should have got what you wanted (domain transfer) before the question of his contract even came up. After clearing it first, I would have said someone higher than you (ideally having recently joined the organization) found out and made it a requirement that all domain names are owned by the organization. That way the freelancer wouldn&#x27;t feel nearly as personally threatened.<p>Only then do you end the contract. (Kind of scary that the org didn&#x27;t have a copy of his contract on file, though. Sounds disorganized.)
