Narrative:

After the events of sept 11, an airspace change occurred in which iad approach gave the altitude of 17000 ft over their airspace to the ZDC sector ldn. The ZDC sectors that abut this airspace (bdr and hgr sectors) have never been briefed or notified of this airspace change. It is crucial in air traffic control to know who owns the airspace that is adjacent to your sector. I believe the cause of the problem is people not doing their job. The solution is to brief all controllers of an adjacent airspace change before the airspace actually changes.
