Exactly so.

And quite right, too.  What if I should slap a system on the 'Net and
start calling IT the master for ampr.org?  I'm sure that Bdale Garbee
and Brian Kantor would get miffed if somehow I overrode the real one.

How about calling them up and setting yourselves up as a sub-domain of
ampr.org?  You could then be in charge of that.  You could also ask
their servers to slave the domain off your [hidden] master.
