to run a registry, all you need is a billing address.  Check out the
IEEE OUI database.  Their web page is great:

The internet community accepted a very long time ago indeed that it
would be useful to have extra information in the RIR registries, beyond
the baseline admin-c and tech-c, neither of which is strictly necessary.

On a wholly unrelated issue, abuse happens on the Internet.  When it
does, people feel the need to be able to communicate with the people who
have an management interest in the address blocks implicated in the abuse.

In the absence of an abuse contact mailbox attached to address
registration data, can you make some constructive suggestions about how
a recipient of internet abuse can get in contact with the people who
manage the address block and who, by implication, are likely to have
some form of contractual relationship with whoever is instigating the abuse?
