Customer Contact Information for the DNS subdomain request

This information should be submitted by one of the people in your
department, lab, center, or office who are primarily responsible for
the current Windows Server environment, who will oversee the
deployment of the independent Windows 2000 domain, and potentially
intend to become responsible for it in the future. In the next
section, you will be able to designate operational contacts for the
DNS subdomain and associated Windows 2000 Server environment.

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>The accuracy of the contact

contact information will be used by IS teams such as the Network
Security or Network Operations Teams in cases of known emergencies,
outages, or security problems that may be emanating from or affecting
the customer DLC or office. Therefore, it is critical that you account
for redundancy and ensure the right individuals on your end are
represented.</fontfamily>
<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>We suggest that DLCs or offices
establish and maintain a central mailing list and specify it as the
contact e-mail to ensure all relevant parties are notified.
Instructions for creating and maintaining mailing lists at MIT are
