Dear Colleagues,

(Apologies for multiple messages).

This is to announce that we have completed the phase 1 of migration.

Starting from today, Monday, 14th May, 2001, <auto-dbm at ripe.net> shall only accept
updates in RPSL format; updates in RIPE-181 format will no longer be accepted.
Updates in RIPE-181 format can be sent to <auto-181 at ripe.net>, where they
will be automatically converted to RPSL format.  <auto-rpsl at ripe.net> will
continue to accept updates in RPSL format.  The update path for the TEST
database has also been changed.

In summary, from 14th May, 2001:
