This has been discussed quite a bit here recently.  .org is migrating from
a thin to thick registry.  The "contact not authoritative" and "Whois
Server:" tell you to check elsewhere for the WHOIS information for this
domain.  As soon as the data is imported to PIR's WHOIS database, "contact
not authoritative" and "Whois Server/Referral URL" should go away.

That is because of this...
