During the period of 26 to 30 September 1991 the ID (WHOIS) database
will not be changed. All registration actions for this five day
period will be suspended. This action is necessary in order to
transfer the master database to GSI. Starting 26 September 1991, all
U.S. mail and fax requests should be directed to the GSI address and
fax number shown above. All electronic mail requests should continue
to be directed to the "HOSTMASTER" and "REGISTRAR" mailboxes at
NIC.DDN.MIL. As appropriate, SRI will redirect electronic mail to
GSI. On 1 October 1991 all registration activities will resume.
We hope that the transition and its accompanying changes will not
greatly inconvenience network users, and we thank you in advance for
your patience and understanding. For general questions regarding the
transition, users may call the new NIC Help Desk after September 1,
1991 at 1-800-365-3642/703-802-4535 or send an e-mail message to
.
