Use for other purposes is not acceptable. SPECIFICALLY ACCEPTABLE USES: (2) Communication with foreign researchers and educators in connection with research or instruction, as long as any network that the foreign user employs for such communication provides reciprocal access to US researchers and educators. (3) Communication and exchange for professional development, to maintain currency, or to debate issues in a field or subfield of knowledge. (4) Use for disciplinary-society, university-association, government- advisory, or standards activities related to the user's research and instructional activities.

Please read all instructions carefully and do not make any changes to the template itself! Please address comments and questions to registrar@nic.ddn.mil. [ templates/user-template.txt ] [ Version U1.2 9/92 ] This file contains information for individual users and for Host Administrators (HAs) who want to register their users in the WHOIS database maintained by the INTERNIC Registration Services on the host RS.INTERNIC.NET (198.41.0.5).The user registration template below has been created to standardize the registration procedure and help ensure that Registration Services will receive complete information about each user in a format that can be processed quickly and reliably by the registration software. You may retrieve the file from Registration Services NIC via FTP. Simply log on with username "anonymous" and password "guest". Then change to the templates directory and request the file by executing a getfile procedure for filename user-template.txt at the prompt. The file contains five sections, as follows: A. General Instructions B. Instructions for Individual Field Entries C. Instructions for Submitting Registration Data D. Sample Template E. Blank Template (Use for Submission) Section A below provides general instructions for filling out the user templates. Acceptable formats and instructions for individual field entries follow in Section B. PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. HOW TO FILL IN THE USER REGISTRATION TEMPLATE A. General Instructions NOTE: UPDATEs and DELETEs *always* require the entry of a NIC handle and Last Name. 1. To ADD a new user record to the database, fill out all required fields except for the handle, line U1. Required fields are marked with a plus (+). Include in the non-required fields any additional information that is applicable to the new user. 2. To MODIFY or UPDATE the record of an existing user, enter the appropriate NIC handle and include data for the fields that need to be changed. Enter "NONE" in any non-required field to erase previous data. U3A through U3D are grouped fields. Each of these fields are processed as a whole. A change to any one field within the group requires entries of all fields for the group. (i.e., entry in any field causes all fields in the group to be updated from the template.) 3. To DELETE a user record from the database, enter the NIC handle (U1), enter the name information (U2A and U2B), and enter "Y" in the "Delete User?" field (U5A). 4. City, State, and Zip code information must be supplied for all United States addresses. If the address is an APO or FPO address, use the City field to specify the letters "APO" or "FPO" and use the State field to enter the APO/FPO two-letter code. 5. Please note that NO USER is allowed more that one record in the NIC database. Each user should be registered only on his/her primary or "home" host. B. Instructions for Individual Field Entries + U1. NIC Handle (See A2,3)......: Required only for UPDATEs and DELETEs. DO NOT include a handle when you are registering a new user. The NIC registration software automatically generates a handle for all user records that are newly added to the database. Example: RM64 (handle for NIC.DDN.MIL user) NAME INFORMATION + U2A.

If you have an APO/FPO address, enter only the two-letter APO/FPO code in line U3F (i.e., AE for New York, AP for California, AA for Florida). The zip code entry is REQUIRED for APO/FPO and U.S. mailing addresses. Please supply a nine-digit zip code for APO/FPO addresses; you may enter either a five or nine-digit zip for other U.S. addresses. U3H. Country....................: Enter the country if it should appear in your mailing address. U3I. Network Mailbox............: Enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (full hostname). Separate the username and hostname parts of the mailbox by "@". Otherwise, follow the syntax required for routing mail to your network. + U3J.

Commercial Phone Extension.: U4C. Alternate Phone............: U4D. Alternate Phone Extension..: U4G. Fax Phone..................: Each user must provide at least one phone number. Other numbers may also be listed. Please include a Fax number. USER STATUS U5A. Delete User? (See A.3)[Y/N]: This field is used to permanently remove a user's record from the WHOIS database. Do not answer "Y" if the user is moving to another host. The default is N. C.

If Products and Services are or become subject to a tariff filed with the Federal Communications Commission or any other regulatory institution ('Tariff'), the terms and conditions of such Tariff, including rates, shall govern Customer's use of the Products and Services. 1. Term The initial Term begins on the first day of the month following Sprint's installation of equipment of facilities, or acceptance of previously installed equipment or facilities, according to Sprint's then current policy. The Term for Products and Services ('Term') will be stated on the SprintLink Order for Data Communications Services ('Order') and shall automatically renew for successive ninety (90) day Terms, regardless of the Term of the original Order, unless (1) Customer or Sprint notifies the other by thirty (30) days written notice that it does not wish to renew, or (2) Customer renews a long-term Order for the same or a different Term by executing a new Order no less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the current Term, or (3) Customer converts an automatic renewal Term to a Long-Term Order by executing a new Order. A 'Long-Term' Order is one whose Term is one year or longer. 2. Rates Rates are as set forth on Customer's Order, Sprint will provide sixty (60) days' written notice of increase in base prices. In the event of increases in base prices, Customer has Fourteen (14) days from the date of the effective increase to provide Sprint Contracts Administration with a written request to terminate service and incur no termination liability. Otherwise, Customer's existing Orders will be billed according to the new base prices. Customer will be responsible for all charges for up to thirty (30) days from the date notice is received. Discount percentages, if applicable, are fixed for Long-Term Orders. For all other Orders and upon renewal of Long-Term Orders, the discount percentage(s) are subject to change upon sixty (60) days prior written notice. 3. Payment Customer agrees to pay all charges incurred. Charges shall be invoiced monthly and payment in US currency shall be due upon receipt. Interest charges of 1 3/4 percent per month or the highest rate permitted by law will accrue daily on all amounts not paid within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. Customer will pay all sales and use taxes, as well as duties or levies, on Products and Services. Customer agrees to pay all charges according to Sprint's then current Cancel Before start Policy and Billing Initiation Policy. 4. Termination To terminate Products and Services, Customer must provide Sprint with thirty (30) days prior written notice. In the event of early termination of any Long-Term Order, Customer will pay a lump sum equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the monthly base price for each service terminated for the unexpired portion of the Term's first year plus fifty percent (50%) of the monthly base price for each service terminated for each month remaining in the Term. Customer will not be liable for termination charges if Products and Services of the same or greater monthly base price and term is ordered at the same time as the notice of termination is received. 5. Rights and Obligations of Customer A. Customer shall at its own expense provide all necessary preparations required to comply with Sprint's installation and maintenance specifications, shall be responsible for the costs of relocation of Products and Services once installed by Sprint, and shall provide to Sprint and to suppliers of communications lines reasonable access to Customer's premises to perform any acts required by this Agreement. B. Customer shall properly use equipment provided by Sprint and shall surrender the equipment to Sprint upon termination.
