If you know a hierarchy which is not listed in these pages or if you have more up-to-date information about an existing hierarchy, please send a mail to usenet-config@isc.org or post to news.admin.hierarchies so that these pages can be updated.

A local hierarchy is a private hierarchy intended to be used only by the organization itself. It is not generally distributed.

Please remove all groups in such a hierarchy from your news server, unless you've contacted the listed contact address and arranged a feed. If you have permission to carry them, you should change the entries hereby provided for their control articles.
