[ga] Whois for "old" US domains

[Marc Schneiders <marc@fuchsia.bijt.net>]

I just received a very boring spam for a merchant account, which was
relayed by:

proxy2.ci.detroit.mi.us [12.2.196.14]

I forwarded it to abuse@ci.detroit.mi.us. I got my message back. There is
no user abuse in the City of Detroit. Should I try Postmaster@ ?

I thought of whois...

Domain Name:                                 CI.DETROIT.MI.US
Domain ID:                                   D3600270-US
Sponsoring Registrar:                        US LOCALITY
Domain Status:                               inactive
Registrant ID:                               UNKNOWN-CONTACT
Registrant Name:                             unknown-name
Registrant Organization:                     unknown-organization
Registrant Address1:                         unknown-street
Registrant City:                             unknown-city
Registrant Country:                          United States
Registrant Country Code:                     US
Registrant Phone Number:                     +1.9999999999
Registrant Email:                            default_email@invalidemail.us
Registrant Application Purpose:              P5
Registrant Nexus Category:                   C21

I guess the Application Purpose and the Nexus Category are correct.

Are the subsequent operators of .US violating any rule by not keeping
an accurate whois? Or may we assume a whois is not required by law in the
US? Then who requires it?
