Anyone got a URL for the request to NETSOL. Sort of hard to find on their
marketing website now.

(sent to the NANOG, IETF, and NAMEDROPPERS lists to catch everybody who

cares.)

Today we (Internet Software Consortium, Inc) received a verified request from
the US-DOC asking that we disable public zone transfers for the COM, NET and
ORG zones from now until July 23. This is part of a controlled experiment
designed to uncover the actual uses and users of this information.

ISC recognizes US-DOC as one of the parties authorized to make such a

request,

and so we have complied with it as of Mon May 3 14:57:39 1999 (Pacific).

All

users who have been fetching the COM, NET, or ORG zones from

F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
