ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.                                                           

   On September 28, 1999, the U.S. Department of Commerce (DoC), Network
Solutions, Inc. ("Network Solutions" or the "Company") and the Internet         
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (the "ICANN") announced a series of  
wide-ranging agreements to shape the future of the Internet's domain name       
system. The agreements include:                                                 

-      A registry agreement between Network Solutions and ICANN outlining the   
      provisions and policies for operation of the Network Solutions Registry;

-      A revised registrar accreditation agreement between ICANN and all        
     registrars, including Network Solutions, registering names in the .com,
.net and .org domains;                                            

-      A revised post-testbed registrar license and agreement between Network   
   Solutions' Registry and all registrars registering names in the .com,
.net and .org domains;                                            

-      An amendment to the Cooperative Agreement between the DoC and Network    
Solutions; and                                                    

-      An amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding between DoC and ICANN.   

DoC and Network Solutions have endorsed such agreements (collectively, the      
"Agreements") and ICANN's endorsement is subject to consideration of public     
comments. The Agreements will be posted on ICANN's web site and ICANN will      
receive comments for 30 days. The ICANN board expects to make a final           
determination regarding this matter at its meeting on November 4, 1999.         

     A copy of the Company's press release, dated September 28, 1999, a fact
sheet summarizing the key issues addressed in the Agreements and the Agreements 
are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, 99.5, 99.6 and 99.7,    
respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein. The press release and   
the fact sheet contain descriptions of some of the provisions of the Agreements,
but the exact provisions are contained in the Agreements themselves.            

     Statements in this report and the Company's press release attached hereto
other than historical data and information constitute forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ  
materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements. The 
potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, uncertainty of Internet
governance and regulation, including the possibility that the Agreements will   
not be approved by the ICANN board, increased competition in the domain name    
registration and directory services businesses, customer acceptance of new      
products and services offered by the Company in addition to or as enhancements  
of its registration services, risks associated with the Company's international 
business, uncertainty of future revenue and profitability and fluctations in its
quarterly operating results. More information about potential factors that could
affect the Company's business and financial results is included in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, especially in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on January 4, 1999, as amended, Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 and Quarterly Reports  
on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31 and June 30, 1999.
