cambridgediet.org on clust05 unavailable

We have not been able to access www.cambridgediet.org all day. Is there an outtage? What is going on?

It looks to me as if your domain registration expired yesterday. The output I get from .org domains is a bit confusing in this regard, so I am not certain, but it seems likely.

It doesn't say it had expired in ops, nor have we been notified of this. What in the world do we need to do before someone takes it? ???????

I would guess that you would use the Domains tab in OPS to renew the domain. If OPS does not show it has expired, contact support. You have a webtv.net address listed as the domain contact - is that correct?

What I see is this:

Domain Name:CAMBRIDGEDIET.ORG
Created On:26-May-2002 07:32:35 UTC
Last Updated On:27-May-2005 05:49:45 UTC
Expiration Date:26-May-2006 07:32:35 UTC
Sponsoring Registrar:Tucows Inc. (R11-LROR)
Status:CLIENT HOLD

"CLIENT HOLD" is, I'm pretty sure, the state .ORG domains go in when they have expired but are not yet released to the pool. I know it says an expiration date in 2006, but what happens is that the registrar updates the entry and that advances the date shown by a year. It is still expired.
