Narrative:

Aircraft was cleared to hold short of runway 17R, departure runway in use. First officer left ATC to contact ramp control for gate availability. Eyes were in the cockpit to write down entry point or hold time. Looked up to find aircraft about to cross active runway at normal taxi speed with an aircraft in position with landing lights on. Asked captain if we had been cleared to cross, he answered no. I said we were crossing the runway and an abrupt stop was made. Aircraft was past the hold lines but only a portion of the radome was over the white edge striping. Clearance was available for the aircraft on departure roll. The aircraft continued and departed well prior to reaching our intersection and passed over us by at least 300 ft. In a 2-MAN cockpit, any company communications or communications not directly contributing to the aircraft movement should be secondary, regardless of delay or inefficiency. Both pilots must at all times monitor ATC.
