Dear Mark,


Following consideration of the issues by, and and instructions received from
the National Science Board, NSF asks that traffic from the countries of the
former Soviet Union which satisfies the NSFNET Backbone Appropriate Use Policy
guidelines be routed by the NSFNET Backbone Service, effective as (reasonably)
soon as Merit can implement the changes.


Thank you,


Steve Goldstein
(for Steve Wolff)
