# VOEvent Transport Protocol Migration

VOEvent Transport Protocol (VTP) is a product of the [International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA)](https://www.ivoa.net) that provides a mechanism for distribution of VOEvents to astronomical communities. The [Comet VOEvent broker for Python](https://comet.transientskp.org/en/latest/) and the [GCN Classic VOEvent distribution system](https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/voevent.html) have been operational for many years, but are not actively developed or maintained. VTP is also unsafe on the modern Internet because it lacks security features to protect against "man-in-the-middle" attacks ([although there are proposals to fix the security issues with VTP](https://comet.transientskp.org/en/stable/appendix/VOEvent-OpenPGP.html), they have not been widely adopted).

#### VOEvent Transport Protocol (VTP) Migration Survey
The GCN team is exploring 3 options to meet the VOEvent needs of the GCN user community. The GCN Classic VOEvent broker must be updated to meet NASA standards. If you are a VOEvent user via the [GCN Classic servers](https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/voevent.html):
- Evaluate the [replacement options](/docs/vtp)
- Provide feedback via [our survey](https://forms.gle/8tVRkmQd2v99FqYYA) by **November 30, 2024**
#### Retirement of Legacy Email Submission Address
We plan to retire the legacy email address ([email protected]) for GCN Circular submission on **December 31, 2024**. Utilize one of the other Circular submission methods:
- Email [email protected]
- Submit via the [web form](/circulars/new), which also offers enhanced features with Markdown capability to add tables, links, and formatting.
