Subject: [arin-announce] Maintenance Work Schedule for Sunday, 8 March 2009
Message-ID: <49B16ACE.5040906@arin.net>

On Sunday, 8 March 2009, ARIN will be conducting maintenance on back-end 
systems. The work will take place from 7AM until approximately 11AM EDT.

ARIN will experience interruption of two external services while this 
maintenance is performed. For the duration, any mail sent to 
Registration Services (hostmaster at arin.net and reassign at arin.net) will 
be queued, and you will not be able to use your ARIN web account to 
submit transactions. Once the systems are back online, queued mail will 
be processed, and you will regain use of your ARIN Web account. 

All other publically available services (WHOIS, IRR, etc) will not be 
affected by this outage.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN Switching to ASPLAIN Notation, 13 March 2009
Message-ID: <49B664AB.1040804@arin.net>

With the publication of RFC 5396, the IETF standardized the 
representation of all Autonomous System (AS) Numbers in the ASPLAIN 
format.  In order to comply with this new standard, ARIN will be 
deprecating AS-DOT notation for 4-byte AS numbers in favor of ASPLAIN 
notation on March 13, 2009, at approximately 10:00PM EDT.  This event 
will not interrupt any ARIN-provided services, and the only noticeable 
change will be to the display of 4-byte AS numbers in ARIN WHOIS.

Please note that ARIN WHOIS will continue to accept queries in both 
ASPLAIN and AS-DOT notation.

You can view RFC 5396 at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5396

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact 
hostmaster at arin.net.
