+%(hostname_list)s
+This usually implies that you need to update the BootCD and node configuration file stored on the read-only media (Either the all-in-one ISO CD, floppy disk, or write-protected USB stick).
+
+We understand that machine maintenance can take time. We're writing again because our previous correspondences, sent first to the registered Technical Contact then the the Site PI, have gone unacknowledged for at least two weeks, and we need your help returning these machines to their regular operation. This is the third time attempting to contact someone in regard to these machines at your site. So, while we wait for the machines to return to their regular operation all current slice activity will be suspended. Current experiments will be stopped and will not be be able to start again until there is evidence that you have begun to help with the maintenance of these machines.
+
+To check the status of these and any other machines that you manage please visit:

+Instructions to perform the steps necessary for a BootCD upgrade are available in the Technical Contact's Guide.

+If your node returns to normal operation after following these directions, then there's no need to respond to this message. However, if there are any console messages relating to the node's failure, please report them to PlanetLab support (support@planet-lab.org) so we can help resolve the issue. Including this message in your reply will help us coordinate our records with the actions you've taken.
