.org is now run by PIR; they run a "thick" registry as opposed to the 
"thin" registry of NSI; there is a transition period as information 
that was previously only at the registrar is moved to the registry.  
The information below is registry whois data that is not yet 
authoritative.  

Please note the field

    "Registrant Street1:Whois Server:whois.register.com"

That is a pointer to the registrar whois, which at this point contains 
the authoritative whois information for your domain.
