Thanks Dave. Before we put it to rest, should we see about Box-Admins assuming responsibility for this in case we have an issue in the future? Having this on shoulders of those who have long since departed the community creates unnecessary burden for them and risk for Squeak.

The squeak.org sites should be back on line within a few hours. We apparently had some confusion or miscommunication in renewing the service, but we should be back on line as soon as the updates flow through DNS.

Hi,
What happened to the squeak.org domain?
Regards,
Has.

Would the SFC be a good ‘person’ to include? In theory at least they are a long-lived organisation.

Dan Ingalls and G?ran Krampe have the squeak.org account at Network Solutions, and I am sure that they would both be happy to have someone else looking after the bills.
But the first order of business is to actually get the DNS records activated. I was expecting things to start working again after "a couple of hours" but from where I sit, squeak.org is still dead. If it is still down tomorrow, I'll see if I can get through to someone at Network Solutions again by phone. Supposedly, the squeak.org names were to have been reactivated for 15 days on a courtesy basis, but I'm worried now that this may not have happened.
I offered to pay the bill, but Network Solutions cannot accept the payment until either Dan Ingalls or G?ran Krampe tells them that the request is legitimate. I think they are worried about scammers (rightly so I'm sure).
G?ran has already replied, and he may be able to contact Network Solutions, or to get in touch with Dan to do so. This should not be an issue, because we have plenty of time to take care of it, so long as Network Solutions gives us the 15 day grace period (as they said they would do earlier today in my phone call).
My only worry right now is that the 15 day reactivition may not actually have happened, or perhaps that there is something else that needs to be done that I'm not aware of.
By the way, I'm no expert in this stuff, I just decided to call the 800 number and work through the phone menus to see if I could find someone to help. The person I finally reached (Deleen) was very friendly and helpful. I was trying to explain what squeak.org is in an attempt to convince her that squeak.org is legitimate, so I refered her to the squeakland.org site for reference. She thought that was great, since she is a teacher herself. But she still could not take my money until she got confirmation from G?ran or Dan.

Realizing this may be a problem, I just renewed with Network Solutions. i hope it helps

I think it's just a DNS cache issue on your side. squeak.org resolves to the right IP address here, and the whois record has also been restored.

P.S.: Thanks for the quick solution to this problem.
