[arin-announce] Utility Work at ARIN Offices

[ARIN]

Due to utility work in the area, beginning at 9:00 PM EDT on Monday, 24 
September and extending through Tuesday, 25 September at 5:00 AM, ARIN's 
main data center in Chantilly, VA will be without power and operating on 
backup power. All external Internet services are expected to be 
available throughout the duration of the outage. In the event external 
power is not restored by 5:00 AM EDT, ARIN may begin an orderly shutdown 
of services. Such a shutdown would affect ARIN Online, email template 
submissions, payment submissions, phone service, and ARIN's web site. 
Both DNS and Whois services will not be affected, as they are serviced 
from auxiliary data centers.

In the event a shutdown is required, ARIN will post a shutdown notice 
with additional details to arin-announce at arin.net and on the home page 
of the web site.

As this outage will take place outside of normal operating hours, this 
will not affect phone availability of the Registration Services or 
Financial Services Help Desks, or general phone service at ARIN.
