I did contact try to contact via email a few months back but it bounced
after a few days. I don't remember what the error was at the time, but
I'm trying to find it.

I didn't try anything more than email at the time.

I did check IANA, but I was looking for more of a support or role
account than contacting individuals over something that wasn't critical.

I didn't think to try 'whois is' at the time. If being explicit to query
whois.iana.org, I get the same information as the website (which makes
sense).
