Abstract This is a request to move the RFC 1032 from status UNKNOWN to status HISTORIC. Newton & Sanz Expires February 21, 2006 [Page 1] Internet-Draft RFC 1032 to Historic August 2005 1. Details The Network Information Center (NIC) does not provide domain registration services anymore for the Defense Data Network (DDN) or the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), nor is the administrator of the root domain name servers or of the "ARPA," "COM," "EDU," "ORG," "GOV," and "MIL" top level domains. The entity SRI-NIC no longer exists, and many of these functions have been taken over by ICANN, ccTLDs and gTLDs. The vague DNS concepts (zone, domain server...) defined in RFC 1032 are best left to the authoritative sources. The description of the Nicname/Whois service made there has been obsoleted by RFC 3912. In the light of this all, this document requests to move the RFC 1032 from status UNKNOWN to status HISTORIC.

Security Considerations Moving RFC 1032 to HISTORIC has no known effect on the security of the internet. 3. References [RFC1032] Stahl, M., "Domain administrators guide", RFC 1032, November 1987.
