whois

just a question in the title

Is it OK for the top level domain .FM not to provide the whois server? Are there any other TLD that behaves in the same manner?

The question came out of the whois command answer

$ whois dot.fm
This TLD has no whois server, but you can access the whois database at
http://www.dot.fm/whois.html

EDIT

Sorry for the "OK" in the question, yes it is quite vague. We're desiring to acquire the domain name in *.fm and my worry was about to be more suspected for the antispam filters and other services relying on the DNS and so. Is this observation have sense or not?
