Here is the contact information for ANSI, which is where you get your
organization registration number and can may someday register your
organizational OSI name.  (MAYBE)

For a while, Lyman Chapin was informally issuing numbers while ANSI got
its act together, but it appears that ANSI is now ready to do numeric
registrations at least.  oting from "Procedures for Registering
Organization Nmaes in the USA"...

The Registration Authority for Organization Names is:

American National Standards Institute
1430 Broadway
New York,  NY  10018

Telephone: +1 212 642 4932
Facsimile: +1 212 302 1286
Telex:     42 42 96 ANSI UI

Please report back to theis list <mhsnews> on the results of your
contact with ANSI.  We are all anxious to learn what happens when people
contact ANSI for this purpose.

Best Regards...\Stef

2nd -

I just talked to ANSI and they said that they are not even taking
alphanumeric applications yet (they hope to by 1st qtr 91) but are only
taking numeric applications for now.  So I would think this is why NREN
has not been registered.  I also asked them If all who applied should go
get a trademark 1st and they said no, so I don't know why they sent NSF
to the Trademark office.

Dan,

I've just learned from ANSI that they plan to open their official
registry some time this week - so the "offshore" registry is now closed!
Send a note to Fran Schrotter or Beth Somerville at ANSI for details.
