Everyone should promote good WHOIS info (and explain why; and the consequences for not doing so). As far as your (and our) obligations to police the data, it is not expected that you pro-actively test or check the data and submit reports to us.
We have an obligation to act on challenges as they arise, but we do not have to seek out bad data independently. We are working on "Registrant manual" for domain names - we will provide this to you to brand and promote issues like these to your customers. We will be soliciting input soon.
