The RIPE RR [28] is a part of the Internet RR, a collection of databases that mirror each other. Information about domain names in the RIPE Database [16] is for reference only. It is not the domain name registry that is run by the country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) administrators of Europe and surrounding areas.
The records of each of these registries are cross-referenced, so that a query to ARIN for a record which belongs to RIPE will return a placeholder pointing to the RIPE WHOIS server. This lets the WHOIS user making the query know that the detailed information resides on the RIPE server.
The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) is the regional Internet registry for the United States, Canada, and many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands. ARIN manages the distribution of Internet number resources, including IPv4 and IPv6 address space and AS numbers.

In it they defined a RDAP Ramp-Up Period of 180 days starting with the effectiveness of this amendment. 360 days after this period is defined as the WHOIS Services Sunset Date, after which it is not a requirement for registries and registrars to offer a WHOIS service and instead only a ...
The NIC Handle system is no longer commonly used by domain name registries. It was previously possible to query WHOIS by NIC handle, and see all the domains registered by that NIC handle, but this service was discontinued (presumably due to spam). NIC Handles are still used extensively in the RIPE Database to identify people and business roles.
