maintenance to deploy new functionality in ARIN's Internet
Routing Registry (IRR). The work will take place from 1:00 PM
until approximately 4:00 PM EDT. Any mail sent to the IRR system
will be queued and not immediately acknowledged. ARIN's IRR
Whois interface will continue to work without interruption.</p>
