+
+## TL;DR
+
+The app that serves requests to [go.opentelemetry.io] will be migrating to a new
+host on September 5, 2024 at approximately 11:00AM Eastern Time. There are no
+changes required from you. We are making this announcement because it is
+possible, but unlikely, that there may be downtime during this transition.
+
+## Details
+
+OpenTelemetry is planning to migrate the application that serves all requests
+for `go.opentelemetry.io` to a new host project on September 5, 2024. On this
+date, the current DNS entries for `go.opentelemetry.io` will be updated to point
+to the new host.
+
+This should be a seamless transition, but there is the possibility of downtime
+during this time. The OpenTelemetry engineers will be actively monitoring the
+transition to minimize the risk.
+
+### Affected Resources
+
+In the unlikely event of issues, the scope of these planned changes will affect
+Go package downloads for the following domains:
+
+- `go.opentelemetry.io/auto`
+- `go.opentelemetry.io/build-tools`
+- `go.opentelemetry.io/collector-contrib`
+- `go.opentelemetry.io/collector`
+- `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib`
+- `go.opentelemetry.io/otel`
+- `go.opentelemetry.io/proto`
+
+Note that this includes users of any of the following artifacts: the
+OpenTelemetry Go language libraries (including Contrib), the OpenTelemetry Go
+Auto-Instrumentation libraries, the OpenTelemetry Collector libraries (including
+Contrib), and the OpenTelemetry Collector Builder.
+
+## What you need to do
+
+**There is no action required from you.** All imports using
+`go.opentelemetry.io` (and submodule paths, for example
+`go.opentelemetry.io/otel`) will continue to work. There are no plans to change
+this.
+
+## What you may notice
+
+There is the possibility of the [go.opentelemetry.io] domain experiencing
+downtime during this transition. If this happens, you may see projects that
+import `go.opentelemetry.io` modules failing to compile.
+
+This could occur due to several factors, including delays in DNS propagation or
+misconfiguration. We will have multiple maintainers working synchronously during
+this time to minimize any downtime that occurs.
+
+If you experience any issues following this transition, please reach out on
+[Slack #otel-go](https://cloud-native.slack.com/archives/C01NPAXACKT) or open an
+issue on GitHub at
+[https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-vanityurls](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-vanityurls).
+
+## Why are we making this change?
+
+This transition both helps modernize the application serving requests and
+handles an ownership transfer, ensuring that we are able to continue providing
+OpenTelemetry Go packages in a secure and robust manner.
+
+For more details, see
+[the community GitHub issue proposing this change](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/issues/2260).
