That isn't actually quite accurate, for two reasons:

1.	Afilias performs the technical services for .org, but we're
not actually the registry operator.  That's Public Interest Registry. 
(We are the registry operator for .info, though.) 

2.	Afilias is responsible for the resolution: for any cases
where we're doing technical services for a registry, including one we
operate, one of the services we agree to is the DNS.  We subcontract
some DNS services.  Just like any subcontracting relationship,
however, the responsibility remains with us.

Having performed my duty to my employer, I'll also point out that I
think M. Bortzmeyer is substantially right: the issues of contractual
obligation and technical effects are probably not that tightly bound. 
I'd be interested in arguments to the contrary, though.
