 Subject: MASSMAIL - Legacy uiuc.edu Web Addresses

As we continue the Illinois Domain Project and the migration from uiuc.edu 
to illinois.edu, it is important to note that the campus is not 
relinquishing the rights to the uiuc.edu domain name. Although it is 
critical that we begin using our illinois.edu email addresses and that Web 
sites begin to migrate to illinois.edu, there are several reasons for 
continuing to support the uiuc.edu domain in the coming years:

- There are legacy uiuc.edu addressed print materials still in circulation.
- Converting these legacy links would be extremely costly and time-
consuming. 
- The uiuc.edu name occurs in places over which we have no control. 

Even as we move forward in building the Illinois brand through the 
Illinois Domain Project, we want to make clear that legacy addresses 
linked to historic urls will continue to function.
 
Thank you for your continued efforts to migrate your email and Web 
addresses to illinois.edu. Project manager Michele Raupp is available at 
illinoisdomainproject@illinois.edu to answer any questions about the 
migration.
 
Very truly yours,

Richard Herman, Chancellor
