I thought Chris was looking for the "contact", not all the records?
Oh, I see. I think the answer to that is that NIC handles and contact objects are a feature of NSIregistrar, and other registrars have their own ways of handling such things. There is no unique, cross-registrar contact database as far as I know. This is intentional, and is a feature of the thin gTLD registry.
