+
+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
+
+   The transition of the Network Information Center from SRI
+   International in Menlo Park, CA, to Government Systems Inc. in
+   Chantilly, VA, is officially scheduled for 1 October 1991.  This
+   includes the transition of services currently offered to DDN and
+   Internet users by SRI.  These services include network/user
+   registration (i.e., network number and top level domain name
+   assignment), on-line information services, and Help Desk operations.
+   GSI will also continue RFC and Internet-Draft archive and
+   distribution services.
+
+   SRI will continue to provide all NIC services and respond to all user
+   calls and requests until 30 September 1991.
+
+   Defense Information System Agency (DISA) and GSI will make every
+   effort to ensure a smooth and timely transition of NIC services from
+   SRI.  Network users should be minimally impacted.  With a few minor
+   exceptions, all on-line services currently offered by SRI will appear
+   the same to the user when a connection is established to the new
+   (GSI) NIC host.  These exceptions are due to the change from the
+   TOPS20 operating system to the SunOS operating system.  The new NIC
+   host is a Sun 470 SPARCserver running SunOS 4.1.  All users on the
+   DDN and the Internet should carefully note the following changes:

+
+   Help Desk Telephone Numbers:
+
+                             1-800-365-3642 (1-800-365-DNIC)
+                             1-703-802-4535
+
+
+   Help Desk Hours of Operation:
+
+                             7:00 am to 7:00 pm Eastern Time
+
+
+   Fax Number:               1-703-802-8376
+
+   Network Address:          192.112.36.5 (NIC.DDN.MIL)
+
+   Root Domain Server:       192.112.36.4 (NS.NIC.DDN.MIL)
+
+   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
+   nic@diis.ddn.mil.
+
+Security Considerations
+
+   Security issues are not discussed in this memo.
