Joe, I've attached a copy of the letter sent below. The target audience is exactly the same as the Y2K letter we mailed to all .nz Name Holders last October (Unique name holder and unique physical mailing address). Regarding dealing to the responses from the letter, most enquiries that we are receiving indicate that the Name holder and address is OK, but the contact details (typically the representative and email address) are incorrect and have not been updated in the .nz Register. Many are telling us that they do not have their authorisation key to make the changes. This naturally puts some pressure on their ISP to help in the change process. The letter mailed to .nz Name holders has a unique identifier. Domainz is happy to make simple changes on the Name holder's behalf where they send back to us marked up Changes on that original letter. The name holder can post to Private bag 1810 Wellington, or fax on (04) 473-4569 and we will take care the update. Where there are more significant changes (eg the physical address is incorrect or a change of Name holder is required) we are making sure that an authorisation key request or Change of name holder process is gone through. We are again happy to manage that process of getting the name holders to write in for keys or go through the Change of Name holder process. My regards, Patrick -------- 3 March, 2000 Our ref: holder_name holder_contact holder_address1 holder_address2 holder_address3 holder_city holder_country holder_postcode Dear .nz Domain Name Holder For Your Information - Changes to the .nz Register This letter is to advise you as a .nz Name Holder of the changes planned to the Domain Registration System.

Some definitely haven't (I haven't received anything yet). The letter advises nameholders to contact their ISP for more information. Operators may want to find out from Domainz exactly what nameholders have been told, so that they are able to field questions on the helpdesk. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
