.ORG Registry Transition

[Lianna]

I just received this from Network Solutions regarding .ORG domain registry and thought that I should share it:

 

 

On January 1, 2003, the Public Interest Registry (PIR)

became the new registry for the .org domain name

extension.  PIR will now maintain the authoritative

directory of all .org domain names. 

 

Beginning January 25, 2003 at 9:00 a.m. EST, VGRS Registry

will disable its connection to all registrars for .org to

begin the transition process.  On January 26, 2003 at

6:00 p.m. EST, PIR will re-establish its connection with all

registrars. However, to ensure all functionality is

appropriately in place, account modifications to current

.org domain names cannot be made for approximately 48 hours

following the transition.

 

During the initial transition period, January 25, 2003 from

9:00 a.m. EST until January 26, 2003 6:00 p.m. EST, you will

not be able to purchase new .org domain name registrations,

transfer .org domain names or make DNS changes.

 

Be assured that this maintenance period will not affect the

ability for customers to view your Web site, and it will

not impact the delivery of any of your e-mail.

 

Please note that Network Solutions, Inc. has no control over

this registry transition and all registrars will be

affected. We appreciate your patience as this transition

occurs.
