USC has chosen not to renew its subcontract, and therefore VeriSign Global Registry Services, a division of Network Solutions, Inc., will assume direct administration of the .US domain as of Tuesday, November 28, 2000. Please note that no changes will occur to syntax, and the standards established by RFC 1480 located at http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1480.txt will continue to apply. VeriSign Global Registry Services will forward its revised standard interim service agreement to you via email shortly for your review. We will also post the agreement on our web site at http://www.nic.us. Should you have any questions, you may email them to usdomhelp@verisign-grs.com.
