.org and .com are no longer run by the same registry. The first time you
use a new ".org" nameserver host with a ".com" or ".net" domain name, you
have to register the nameserver host as a "foreign" nameserver.

In the RWI, click "Add Nameserver to All Foreign Registries" and add each
nameserver host (ns1.mydomain.org, ns2.mydomain.org, etc.).

I still don't quite understand why this process is not automatic.
OpenSRS, can't you simply add it to all when a nameserver host is
created? You could even maintain a set of flags indicating which ones
it's been successfully added to, and retry automatically if a given
registry is down when you initially try to add it.
