The _information_ held in the IANA database. 
Obviously the database itself is under ICANN's control.  You may be 
aware the ccTLD community has been trying to get the IANA/ICANN to make 
its processes more responsive (and therefore accurate) to the ccTLD 
Registry requirements so that IANA can update and maintain the accuracy 
of the database serving this community.

Identifying the manager for NL is not a problem as the manager is known 
to CENTR directly. However the staff at CENTR are working hard to 
contact every ccTLD Registry entered in the IANA database (for "new" 
Europe accrding to ICANN) where emails to the Admin Contact bounces, 
then they study the web site/directory enquiries and telephone the 
Registry directly to establish the contact details of the Registry 
Manager - by fax if necessary.

Hope this clarifies
