Subject: 	FreeBSD mirrors in Canada - temporary re-organization



Dear NRC, RISQ, and Arctic Network,

Please be advised that i have received notification that due to 
migration of their systems architectures at /Réseau d'informations 
scientifiques du Québec/ [RISQ],  the server that used to answer to the 
name ftp2.ca.freebsd.org  [formerly aka freebsd.risq.qc.ca] is going to 
be unavailable for a couple months.

If no-one has any objections, i am going to re-assign the 
ftp2.ca.freebsd.org hostname to temporarily re-direct traffic that would 
normally go to RISQ over to the National Research Council [NRC] (the 
current ftp.ca.freebsd.org).

This will make the FreeBSD FTP mirror list in canada:

ftp (aka ftp1): ftp.nrc.ca.
ftp2: ftp.nrc.ca. <--changed from freebsd.risq.qc.ca.
ftp3: mirror.arcticnetwork.ca.

My intention is to maintain the availability of a host answering at 
ftp2.ca.freebsd.org. during RISQ's transition, and then when this 
transition is complete i would re-alias ftp2.ca.freebsd.org. to 
freebsd.risq.qc.ca (or whatever hostname they assign to their machine at 
that time).

If there are any objections/suggestions, please let me know!

I would also like to take this time to sincerely thank the staff and 
management of RISQ, the NRC, and Arctic Network for their continued 
support of the FreeBSD community in Canada.

Your humble servant,
Mit Rowe

PS: if there is someone at your organizations whom i should contact 
directly regarding these matters in the future rather than the address 
which i have sent this letter to, please let me know so that i can 
update my records.
