Dear Nicolae,

I think you may be misunderstanding the purpose of the RIPE Whois
Database. We are not a repository for domain names. Where forward domain
objects exist in the RIPE Whois Database, they often contain a "refer:"
attribute. This references the authoritative database for information on
this domain. The information returned by querying for this domain object
in the RIPE Whois Database actually comes from this other referenced
database.

The information you listed in your mail that you are interested in is
all domain related details. This information is not contained in the
RIPE Whois Database.

regards
