Dear Colleagues, The four Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) are about to enter the final stage of the Early Registration Transfer (ERX) project. This project is a coordinated effort to move whois records for address space registered before the advent of the RIRs to the whois database of the RIR in whose region the registrant is based. In this final stage of the project, whois records for registrations within 192.0.0.0/8 are being moved from the ARIN database. If you operate a network in 192.0.0.0/8 and have: - registration information in more than one RIR database, or - have a postal address that lies outside the RIR's service region you will receive a mail regarding its registration. The mail explains in which database we believe the registration is meant to reside. The message also explains how to indicate which contact information should be recorded. You can find out more about the ERX project at the following URLs: http://www.apnic.net/db/erx/ http://www.arin.net/registration/erx/ http://www.lacnic.net/en/erx.html http://www.ripe.net/projects/erx/ Regards, Paul Rendek Head of Member Services and Communications RIPE NCC
