Well, I did say our web site is suspended, not our domain name. It's 
going to take some time to get our web site unsuspended so I thought I'd 
try to get the domain name registrar to let me point the  domain 
somewhere else.  I am asking how to figure out what to do about that. I 
am not entirely sure that this thing called the "sponsoring registrar" 
is the right entity to contact. It may be a dumb question but the reason 
I am doubting my sanity is that the sponsoring registrar is denying that 
they know anything about the domain name. I think I'm being jerked 
around, right?

I mean, if you do a whois for your domain, you need to contact the 
entity listed as the sponsoring registrar to regain control, right?



PS: Sorry about the "faked out bullshit" but I can't post the dead guy's 
name or even that of the non-profit. I'm sure you can understand that.
