Good Afternoon-

This is a reminder in regards to the original message we sent out on July
6th,
which is upgrading our backend server and moving it to productions.
September 1st
is still our target date, and there are many we have not heard from (for
those that
we have heard from, we thank you).

If you have not responded to this email, please read through it, and contact
us
as soon as possible at support at transfer.reg.utexas.edu so we can begin
testing
to make certain we can connect to your server from our new backend server.

Thanks for your assistance and patience.
