Strangely enough, PIR doesn't recognize that one... Google-mining seems
to indicate that its TUCOWS/OPENSRS, but I wont swear to that.=20

As for actually contacting someone to get it fixed, considering past
experience I think nothing short of a public outcry is going to draw
attention to the problem, and whois issues might be just a little to
esoteric for NYT/WP/CNET coverage...=20

During the recent changes to .org, whois stopped being useful for what I
need.

 > Sponsoring Registrar:R11-LROR

All I really want to know is the Registrar's name/URL to tell my client
so they can modify their nameservers.

Does anyone have:

1) A URL to the table that will allow me to lookup a name from the above
code (or better, a hack to whois that will do said lookup for me)?

2) The e-mail address  where I should my suggestion that the person who
came up with this brilliant scheme needs to pursue a new career in a
non-IT related field?

TIA,

Mike
