   Title:   Domain Name System Implementation Schedule 
   Author:  J. Postel
   Pages:   8

      pathname: [SRI-NIC]<RFC>RFC897.TXT

   This memo is a policy statement on the implementation of the Domain 
   Style Naming System in the Internet.  This memo is a partial update 
   of RFC 881.  The intent of this memo is to detail the schedule for 
   the implementation for the Domain Style Naming System.  The names of 
   hosts will be changed to domain style names.  Hosts will begin to use
   domain style names on 14-Mar-84, and the use of old style names will 
   be completely phased out before 2-May-84.  This applies to both the 
   ARPA research hosts and the DDN operational hosts.  This is an 
   official policy statement of the ICCB and the DARPA.

Public access files may be copied from the <RFC> directory at SRI-NIC
