[RFCI-Discuss] Missing info in whois practice of TLD owners

Hello,
We have 2 domains in the rfc-ignorant database:
 * netnoc.eu -> 
http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/tools/detail.php?domain=eu&submitted=1143376042&table=whois
 * incrowd.be -> 
http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/tools/detail.php?domain=be&submitted=1143301172&table=whois

Indeed, there is info missing from the whois.  But if you whois these 
domains you can see a notice that refers to a webbased dns, where you 
can see the additional information.
This seems to be the practice of the TLD owners ( eurid.eu for the eu 
domain and dns.be for the .be ) : they hide specific data for 'normal' 
whois'es ( registrant and for the .eu also name,organisation, address 
and language of the technical contacts ) but display it on a webbased whois.

I found more about this practice in these documents:

http://www.eurid.eu/images/Documents/WHOIS_Policy/whois_en.pdf
http://www.dns.be/pdf/Enduser_Terms_And_Conditions_nl_v4.1.pdf


How can we resolve this?  I would like to get our domains out of 
rfc-ignorant list but don't know how.
Thanks,
Dieter
