The issue is that most whois lookup tools or websites are not sending the correct command the the .NAME whois server (whois.nic.name).
If you connect to whois.nic.name:43
and issue ?
, you get these instructions:
domain verisign.name
nameserver A4.NSTLD.COM
nameserver 2809:BC0:6CD:0:0:0:0:9
registrar Network Solutions Inc.
= ibm.name
fu ibm.name

summary ibm.name

ext blocked TEVA.PHARMACEUTICALS.NAME
So the correct command to send to the whois server is to send: full example.com
, where example.com is replaced with the domain name.
If you were to use the whois
command on Linux, then you should execute:
whois -h whois.nic.name 'full example.com'
I have taken this into consideration when building my whois lookup tool at https://gwhois.org/ .
Example: https://gwhois.org/google.name
