I think we should definitely wait for the public registry to update before making any changes. It just seems safer to avoid mistakes.

I feel like putting the refresh on hold might be the safest choice, but I’m torn between that and getting legal documents first.

This reminds me of a practice question where we had to decide whether to trust unofficial sources. I think option B could be risky without legal documents.

I remember we discussed the importance of verifying ownership changes before updating profiles, but I’m not sure if we should wait for the public registry.
