Not unless you tell us the name of the .org domain. It could be you've
not registered it. Or used the wrong name servers when the domain was
registered. Or you've mistakenly queried a non-recursive name server
and been surprised at the referral instead of getting the expected
answer. Maybe there are other possibilities - like the domain is on
hold awaiting payment or possibly its ownership is under dispute. But
since you didn't tell us the name it's hard to say what the actual
problem is.
