MANAGEMENT BULLETIN
The DDN MANAGEMENT BULLETIN is distributed online by the DDN Network
Information Center under DISA contract as a means of communicating
official policy, procedures and other information of concern to
management personnel at DDN facilities. Back issues may be read
through the TACNEWS server ("@n" command at the TAC) or may be
obtained by FTP (or Kermit) from the NIC.DDN.MIL host [192.112.36.5]
using login="anonymous" and password="guest". The pathname
for bulletins is ddn-news/ddn-mgt-bulletin-nn.txt (where "nn" is the
bulletin number).

Transition of the Internet Registration Services
As a result of the NREN NIS award by the National Science Foundation, non-DOD
registration services will shortly be transferred from the DOD NIC to the
new Internet Registration Service, which is a part of a service referred
to as the InterNIC. Internet Registration Services (which include the
registration of Internet Domains, Internet IP Network Numbers, and Internet
Autonomous System Numbers) are gradually transitioning from the DOD NIC to
the InterNIC. The transition is expected to be completed by April 1, 1993.
DOD USERS WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE FULL REGISTRATION AND HELP DESK SERVICES
FROM THE DOD NIC, AND THE TRANSITION SHOULD NOT AFFECT THEM IN ANY RESPECT.
DOD users should continue to send registration requests to
hostmaster@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. The DOD NIC Help Desk Number
remains (800) 365-DNIC.
After the transition, the hosts.txt file will continue to be available from
nic.ddn.mil, but it will include only MILNET hosts, gateways, and networks.
Currently, less than 1% of all Internet hosts are contained in the hosts.txt
file.
Please refer to RFC 1400 for more details about the InterNIC services.
Please direct any questions about this transition to nic@nic.ddn.mil.
