Hello,
Our current domain name ``ilug-bom.org.in'' expires on <28-Feb-2006>,
and will not be renued this time around, due to administrative
problems with registration of .IN domain names.
A new domain called ``glug-bom.org'' has been registered, and will
point to the same services with effect from this sunday. However, till
the ``ilug-bom.org.in'' domain expires, both domains will continue to
function.
It is a good idea to update your address books, email filters and
bookmarks now, so that the transitiion will be smooth.

Unfortunately, we cannot tell the thousands of sites across the internet
to update their links. Many of these links are in email archives, and
companies have a no-update policy for these (I've tried getting links
updated in the past).
All old data on ilug-bom will be lost.

There really IS such a key. In most cases the registrar is supposed to
issue you one as soon as you register or transfer the domain to some
other registrar. Most do it while transfering.
I don't see any reason for forfeiting this domain because someone fouled
up at NCST!

The Admin section of the WHOIS shows your name Dr Nagarjuna. If you
could prove your identity to them over fax/person (Copy of Passport or
any Govt Issued ID does), they should still be able to send you the key.
Also make sure that you get all email directed to
postmaster(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in at least till the time the transfer take
place successfully.
last date for transfers.

OK, It is good to have plan B. I really like the new domain, but
breaking already existing links on the Web worries me. It will be nice
if we could run on this domain itself.

We have got quite a few company names moved from NCST to other registrars
recently. There have been few cases where the companies had not received
the Transfer key. We have been able to get NCST to resend the Key to them
by post. I am sure NCST will resend the key to you. If you want me to
assist in this, I will be happy to do so.

I too had a problem with a co.in domain name transfer dec 31st 2004. Domain
expired but they had no policy in place to transfer to directi or similar.
but they kept supporting it.
Now, in this case, the NCST office is pretty cooperative (atleast that girl
was..). they are in the 8th floor of the Air India building.
Maybe a personal visit in conjunction with talks with someone at directi or
similar may resolve this?
At the very least, we can request those guys at NCST to extend the expiry date
till this gets resolved. I know for a fact my co.in domain had expired in all
records but it still worked till the new transfer policy took shape.

mixed emotions from everyone, i guess. But I feel its a great decision.
NCST sucks at being professional. Their whois servers dont work at all.
You have to use their web based whois. I am a terminal guy and I just
hate it. Besides their servers aren't _that_ reliable.
I have one suggestion though. You can transition to the new domain right
now but pursue this matter and see to it that the older domain is
registered. Then you can setup a forwarder on the older domain and most
websites will update their book mark within the year. Those who get
left out, well I can say is tough luck.

Our's is one of the oldest glug mailing lists in india, we cannot
afford to loose ilug-bom.org.in domain just like that. We are pursuing
with ncst to get this issue resolved. Meanwhile those who have done
such migration of domains, please get in touch with me and Nagarjuna
at the earliset.
We also need to generate funds to pay for the domains for next two
years.
Its just a matter of keeping ilug-bom.org.in domain registered with
us, rest all settings in Apache and Exim remain unchanged.
