new template.net form...
Hi. There is a new template.net form now available. The only difference is that it now refers to the NSFNET AUP dated June, 1992. Please begin using this version of the NSFNET template.net. The full copy with explanations is available on: nis.nsf.net:nsfnet/announced.networks/template.net. The newer NSFNET acceptable use policy is available on: nis.nsf.net:nsfnet/acceptable.use.policies/nsfnet.txt. --Steve Widmayer Merit/NSFNET *********************************************************************** Version 5.3 20 Aug 1992 NSFNET Configuration Request Template for the NSFNET policy-based routing data base ---- Network Announcement Change Request ---- This template is to request announcement of networks to the NSFNET backbone. Configuration requests may only be submitted by the designated Routing contacts for the Autonomous Systems of the NSFNET. Configuration requests should be submitted to nsfnet-admin@merit.edu. Please read the explanation at the bottom of this form if you are unfamiliar with its contents. ***************************************************************************** ---- Network Announcement Change Request ---- The networks which request access to the NSFNET backbone agree that traffic from the networks that will transit the NSFNET backbone comply with the "NSFNET BACKBONE SERVICES ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY" dated June 1992.

Comment about the (new) NACR template: ---- Network Announcement Change Request ---- The networks which request access to the NSFNET backbone agree that traffic from the networks that will transit the NSFNET backbone comply with the ^^^ "NSFNET BACKBONE SERVICES ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY" dated June 1992. The leading "The" unequivocally denotes the networks for which the NACR is submitted, but the marked "the" can equally well denote the networks in the NACR as "networks that will transit the NSFNET backbone" in general. Since the latter in general is not under the control of the networks mentioned in the NACR, this "the" should be replaced by "these". I spotted this quite some time ago already and I'm consistently using "these" in my NACR's, but sofar I just forgot to notify you. Sorry for that. And to get even more picky ;-) note that the word "comply" stands for the traffic, not the networks, and thus should be "complies" or "will comply" (the latter wording is better, since no one can be 100% sure, one can always try the best and make a promise). All in all this leads to the suggestion to change the text into: The following networks, which request access to the NSFNET backbone, agree that traffic from these networks that will transit the NSFNET backbone will comply with the "NSFNET BACKBONE SERVICES ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY" dated June 1992.
