If ".name" works the typical TLD way, you don't own anything. You merely have a business relationship with the owner of "ellis.name". That owner could transfer "ellis.name", but you don't own anything transferable.
Of course, ".name" might not work in the expected way, but it seems a likely explanation for the issue you report.
