Thanks; I worked through OSUOSL to get the DNS changeover done. The new
website is live.
There doesn't appear to be a pressing need to change the technical
contact for the DNS records at this time, so I think leaving things as
is for now should be fine. However, I do have a Gandi account and would
be ok with being the contact should we need to change things some day.

Conservancy and/or an Inkscape Committee member has authority to make such
changes directly with Gandi in future.

Actually, has it stands, Conservancy is the merely holding the registrar for
the accounting, but the DNS still points to (as seen in whois
inkscape.org):
Name
Server:NS1.AUTH.OSUOSL.ORG
Name
Server:NS2.AUTH.OSUOSL.ORG
Name
Server:NS3.AUTH.OSUOSL.ORG

... I bet whoever you're talking to at OSU-OSL (Lance?) who set up py1 for
you also has authority to update the DNS.
inkscape.org is hosted at Gandi now, and it's possible to do two things to
make this easier:
* Someone on the Inkscape committee can make a Gandi account, which can be
made the Technical Contact for the domain, and then have authority to
make non-billing-related changes like nameservers for the domain.
* If OSU-OSL hosting the DNS isn't desired any longer, we could use Gandi's
DNS hosting in addition to being the registrar.
