Michael and all, Michael I am cc'ing this to the IFWP, Paul Vixie, DOJ Anti trust division and the NTIA., in light of the previous message sent by Patrick Greenwood which I forwarded to you. Seems that the DOJ and the DOC do not have their collective acts together. See Copied message below your comments here. And thanks for pointing this out, very interesting!!

Today we (Internet Software Consortium, Inc) received a verified request from the US-DOC asking that we disable public zone transfers for the COM, NET and ORG zones from now until July 23. This is part of a controlled experiment designed to uncover the actual uses and users of this information. ISC recognizes US-DOC as one of the parties authorized to make such a request, and so we have complied with it as of Mon May 3 14:57:39 1999 (Pacific). All users who have been fetching the COM, NET, or ORG zones from F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET should during this interrim period contact Network Solutions for access. Unless instructed otherwise by US-DOC, IANA, or ICANN, we plan to restore public access to the COM, NET, and ORG zones from F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET during the morning of July 23, 1999.
