Is it necessary for .us domains to display your contact information in WHOIS searches?

By contact information, I mean your full name, physical address, email, phone numbers, etc.?

I don't know the actual ARIN regulations about this, but lots of people just do something like this:

Administrative Contact: <Organisation name goes here> Network Administrator

OrgAbuseName: <Organisation name goes here> Abuse Team
OrgAbuseEmail: [email protected]
OrgAbusePhone: <a real telephone number goes here>

Lots of people don't use their real names, but I think it's more or less standard practice to give a real email address, the real physical address of your organisation and a real abuse telephone number.

I am also not sure about it. But i had a whois lookup for couple of .US domain names from www.WhoisXY.com All the .US domain names had full contact information. You too can have a whois lookup for more clear idea.
