+
+Status of this Memo
+
+   This memo provides information for the Internet community.  It does
+   not specify an Internet standard.  Distribution of this memo is
+   unlimited.
+
+Discussion
+
+   As a result of the NREN NIS award by National Science Foundation,
+   non-DDN registration services will soon be transferred from the DDN
+   NIC to the new Internet Registration Service, which is a part of an
+   entity referred to as the InterNIC.  References in this document to
+   the InterNIC apply to the Registration Services portion only.
+
+   Internet registration services are gradually transitioning to the
+   InterNIC.  We expect that the full transition will be accomplished by
+   April 1, 1993.  During this transitional period, EMail, Fax, and U.S.
+   mail received at either site will be processed.  DDN users will
+   continue to receive full registration support from the DDN NIC, and
+   the transition should be transparent to them.  DDN users should
+   continue to send registration requests to hostmast@nic.ddn.mil (IP,
+   .mil domain, inaddr for 26.x.x.x) or registrar@nic.ddn.mil (user
+   registrations or TAC card requests) using the DISA approved
+   registration forms.
+
+   From now through March 31, 1993, non-DDN Internet registration
+   requests will be handled as follows:
+
+      The current DDN NIC registration templates may be filled out and
+      submitted to either hostmaster@internic.net or
+      hostmaster@nic.ddn.mil through March 31.  The new InterNIC
+      templates will be accepted effective April 1, 1993, but not until
+      that time.

+               Chantilly, VA 2200
+
+   Effective April 1, 1993, non-DDN Internet requests will be handled as
+   described below.
+
+      New registration requests should be sent to autoreg@internic.net
+      using the new template.  Old templates sent to
+      autoreg@internic.net will be returned with the parsing error
+      messages and the new form attached. Old templates mailed to
+      hostmaster@interic.net will be accepted through June 30, 1993.
+
+      After that date, templates in the old format will be returned to
+      the sender with the new template attached.

+
+   In an effort to keep those who are likely to submit a high volume of
+   registration requests informed during the transition period,
+   information regarding Internet registration issues will be
+   distributed via the mail list rs-info@internic.net.  Send
+   subscription requests to:
+
+                     rs-info-request@internic.net.
+
+   Information on the location of the new autoreg templates and how to
+   retrieve them will be sent to those who have subscribed to this list.
+   Comments are solicited.  The new registration templates have been
+   modified to facilitate automatic processing and to remove all DDN-
+   specific references.
+
+   WHOIS services will be available at both the DDN NIC and InterNIC
+   sites:

+
+     whois.nic.ddn.mil (192.112.36.5)
+     whois.internic.net (198.41.0.5)
+
+   Effective April 1, 1993, only DDN information will be available from
+   whois.nic.ddn.mil.  The WHOIS service available from
+   whois.internic.net will contain all information on IP addresses,
+   domains, and ASNs.  The WHOIS service available from the
+   whois.internic.net will contain individual user records only for
+   those who serve as a Point of Contact for an active node.  Those who
+   are interested in establishing a whois service for information on
+   individual users (e.g., for Internet hosts or campus networks) are
+   encouraged to participate in one of the many distributed WHOIS-like
+   information projects.
+
+   Root zone files will be available at both sites through March 31,
+   1993.  After that time, the root zone file will be available only
+   from ftp.rs.internic.net.
+
+   After the transition, the host.txt file will be available only from
+   nic.ddn.mil and hosts.txt will include ONLY MILNET HOSTS.  On April
+   1, 1993, a new root DNS server will be placed in service.  It will be
+   available at ns.internic.net ( 198.41.0.4 ).
+
+   The T1 service currently available to the DDN NIC will be
+   disconnected by June 1, 1993.  This will leave only 56K access to the
+   DDN NIC site. Excessive traffic to this site after that date will
+   cause congestion. Therefore, it is important that all Internet
+   registration data be directed to the new InterNIC site.  The InterNIC
+   registration services facility will be connected to SuraNET via T1
+   around March 10, 1993.
+
+   Automated Internet registration services will be available from the
+   InterNIC registration service host.  This new automated system will
+   allow more accurate and timely processing of registration requests.
+   The basic functions/features of the new automated registration
+   process (autoreg) are outlined below:
+
+   * Requestor sends a completed new template to
+     autoreg@internic.net.
+
+   * The mailserver/parser on the InterNIC registration host parses
+     the template and makes a quick check of all verifiable
+     information (such as Domain name conflicts).  The server
+     then sends an E-mail verification or rejection with error message
+     back to the requestor.
+
+   * After receiving the verification form for review, the requestor
+     should ensure that the information was interpreted correctly by the
+
+
+
+Williamson                                                      [Page 3]
+
+RFC 1400          Transition of Registration Services         March 1993
+
+
+     parser.  If the information is correct, the requestor returns the
+     verify form to verify@internic.net.  If the information is not
+     correct, the requestor should make the necessary corrections before
+     returning the form.  If a rejection was received the requesstor
+     must make the necessary adjustments and resend the registration
+     request to autoreg@internic.net for processing.
+
+   * On receipt of a corrected verification form from the original
+     requestor, the data will be rechecked and a new verification form
+     will be sent.  Once a good verification has been received by
+     Registration Services, the request will be released for final
+     processing by the InterNIC registration staff.
+
+     NOTE: If the requestor does not return the verification form to the
+     InterNIC within seven days after it is mailed, the original
+     registration request will expire, and it must be resubmitted.
+
+   Information on the status of all registration requests will be
+   available to users via two methods.  The first method employs the
+   "finger" utility.  The finger utility is executed specifying the
+   "trouble ticket" (tt) number returned with the registration request
+   verification/ confirmation message.
+
+   Example:     finger tt-930303.1034@rs.internic.net
+
+   Users will also be able to obtain status information by connecting to
+   rs.internic.net via telnet and executing the "status <ticket number>"
+   command.  Status information will appear as follows.

+   The interface is similar to the telnet service currently offered by
