[IGSMAIL-7998] IGS Website Transition is Today, System Outages during Maintenance Period

Wed Dec 9 15:22:59 UTC 2020

Dear Colleagues,

This is a friendly reminder that in less than two hours, the Central Bureau
will commence the switch of our FTP services, as well as the transition to
the new IGS.org.

As we transition, you may experience interruptions in all Central Bureau
Information System platforms. We will announce when this transition has
been completed.

Please contact the Central Bureau (cb at igs.org) with any questions or
concerns.

Best regards,

The IGS Central Bureau

Dear IGS Community Member,

We would like to remind you that the Central Bureau will be switching off
our FTP file services on 9 December; at that time, we will also be
transferring our beta version of the IGS website to its permanent home at
igs.org
<https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://igs.org__;!!PvBDto6Hs4WbVuu7!Zzqvng-P9ZAlHaGTo1Xdt4DRsVVtretANQDELMtFrWoH3uYeo59R-1PD8D3LjIdj4jBN5-dq$>
.

Please see the messages sent on 18 June 2020 (below) for further details,
and be sure to contact the Central Bureau (CB at igs.org) with any remaining
questions.

Best regards,

The IGS Central Bureau
