A major reconfiguration of the NGS Unix System network will take place 
on the weekend of May 19 & 20. This reconfiguration is required to 
comply with Federal security standards. The work is mandatory and cannot 
be postponed. This will result in outages of the NGS web server, FTP 
server, database and data collection systems. We are making every effort 
to minimize the disruption but cannot guarantee full service over the 
weekend. Due to the extent of the change, there may be irregularities in 
service on the days following the weekend.

CORS data will be available through the NGS parallel facility in 
Boulder: http://wwwest.ngs.noaa.gov. <http://wwwest.ngs.noaa.gov/>   
While data from all sites may not be available, national coverage should 
be complete.

Uploads to IGS for NGS contributed stations should not be affected as 
operations will be switched to Boulder. Orbits and other products may be 
delayed.

Sorry for any inconvenience
 Giovanni
