That page is very useful for outlining the responsibilities of icann vis
internic and the registrars.

The internic page I referred to earlier apparently wants the individual
who is unhappy about whois information and the performance of the
particular registrar in that regard to be 'working it out' with the
registrar.

"If you have a problem with one of the registrars, you should first try
to resolve it with that registrar. "<but again, I think that is about
money and other disputes, not a problem with the registrar allowing the
registrant to repetitively put up/ register/ bogus whois information>

"If you cannot resolve your complaint with the registrar, you should
address it to private-sector agencies involved in addressing customer
complaints or governmental consumer-protection agencies." <again, that
sounds like financial and contract dispute resolution, not about the
registrar failing to perform in the way which the registrar is supposed
to perform according to the link you just posted.>
