Most whois clients have a list, so usually IANA is not queried, but there is this delegation mechanism to discover/recurse. Basically what whois does is returning a key/value printout of all properties of a domain (in this sense "org" is a domain too)

The "whois:" field points towards the responsible whois server while other fields contain the usual whois stuff like "name:" "organization:" etc.
