Delhi Management Association forgot to renew domain?

Before I start, let me say this. I am not into negative posts that make anyone look bad. But frankly, as a member of another management association, I’m quite stunned to note that the Delhi Management Association website leads you to a domain parking site. Besides the usual ads, it also gives the reasons for the same. The site existed till few days back and has deep footprints on Google.
My curiosity takes me to a lookup and I find that the site has been renewed as late as today and valid for another year. Looks like it was paid a day after the domain expired. Quite likely, the registrar decided to park the page. And after renewal, someone forgot to unplug the domain parking.
The lookup also identifies a administrative and technical contact at Delhi Management Association and even gives her mail id ( Not shown in the screenshot). One can see another cardinal bloomer. The administrative and technical contact mail id is on the same domain(dmadelhi.org), which means that once the domain expires, the mail also stops working cutting all communication. But quite a good idea, if you have the payment discipline though.
Frankly, in the net age when even small societies are leveraging the net for communications and promotions, a leading body such as Delhi Management Association forgetting the basics is quite a shock.
