Keep in mind at least in FCC land.- We have a time frame to file for callsign of related SK, etc.- "Memorial Clubs" that assume names, etc.Also, some resources were always to be assigned to the RACES or ARES callsigns after this infrastructure was completed (passed architect approval before this, but BGP/whatever tunneling will keep us compatible with all) may slow us.Likewise, e.g. they work in unison and just wanted you consider that when programming the backends of how callsigns work for users.I believe both in a programmatic workflow would refer to those like myself (e.g. aware of what your referencing) as neither trustee/president/Radio officer would directly answer. I thought of mentioning Point 2 here, but 1 seems more relevant. 73,- KB3VWG
Chris at al,I want to remind everyone of this. As far as I'm aware the portal policy has Sai that if you don't login with 6 months (or something as such) your "resources" can be removed.I don't understand why we all can proceed with and you delete all the state records.So next question technically- Why the resistance if any one of us agreed already to return our resources for e.g. if as we as in the US IT industry "get hit by a bus" and become an SK. In 6 months or so...viola.- KB3VWG

If we are satisfied that your request is legitimate, i.e. you’re not trying to steal someone else’s subdomain! then your request will be approved with the following proviso / warning:—8< snip >8---Important notice about this subdomain approvalOver the past decade, ARDC has accumulated a database of over 51,000 DNS entries, the vast majority of which are unused and “ownership” is unknown. The rollout of the new Portal allows us to clean this up.Thus, in the coming months, ARDC will update our policy around top-level subdomain requests using ampr.org. Subdomains using the format of callsign.ampr.org will be automatically approved; all others will be reviewed by our team. Once approved, you may create lower-level subdomains (e.g., foo.callsign.ampr.org) without further approval.Administrative access to this non-callsign subdomain is being temporarily approved while this policy is being developed. Thus, please consider access to this subdomain as temporary.Once an official policy is in place, we will have a transition period before the official deprecation of subdomains such as this one.

Dont worry I read manuals, laws and many more things.
What you dont seem to understand is the fact that you are not entitled to anything beside what ARDC board/staff decide.
What ever the RFC or whatever else you think might mean something.
ARDC have the right to decide to change any information they think should apply to all of the IP space they own.
The only rights you have is to ask politely if they are ok with letting you use a part of it. They have no other obligation to you than to answer yes or no. And even when they say yes, they have no obligation to give you the control over rDNS, or BGP , geolocalisation, or anything else.

This is where we (and others, i.e. those who can read manuals) disagree.
No fact of the matter or the infrastructure of the Internet dictates the point of view you've seem to have blindly espoised about ARDC. Read the RFCs.
Further, please don't add specifics of IP space to an already convoluted subject.
Given these discussions seem to go off topic as you have attempted purposely twice - I'll simply refrain from engaging in chat with you.
If this was genuine, Thanks. If not, I'm confused why you would do it.

Since when is it OK to use 44net for any other use than ham experimentation on that IP address space?
If you use a network for experimentation as a primary link for emergency you miss understood the use of the 44net.
Yes it is appealing to do so. But be aware that this network can and will change over the time. Some stuff will break. Some will cease to exist. And new stuff will appear.
ARDC is not a ISP nor a commercial entity that provide professional services for commercial grade networking. If the network infrastructure you use is primary for life safety, better go the commercial route. If you are a BACKUP in case everything else is gone. That is not the same thing, and the authority dealing with ham should better know about it.
This is my opinion of the situation and note ARDC view. I am not talking for them.

Hello Lynwood,
For the record, I have never made any derogatory remarks to you publicly or in private, you completely misconstrued an offer of help I made for reasons I still do not understand. If you wish to discuss this then I am more than happy to, as I would like to clear up any misunderstandings. Please feel free to contact me off-list as this is not the appropriate place for such discussions.
With regards to the rest of your email, I refer you to Rosy’s email to this list which explains the current situation. I am sure she would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

You all may not have noticed, but I'm being very particular NOT to agree to new DNS terms, IP record changes, etc. (i.e. stuff that preexisted your control of this domain and space). Before I post the text (since it's quite similar to what I read posted by an ARDC employee), I will not quote it at this time. Please offer clarity (publicly, because you have said some derogatory things to me before in private which you seem uncourageous to say publicly - so I'm uncomfortable) before I proceed.
I also need ARDC to understand that there will be concerns if you then proceed to delete entries I've made very clear I wish to continue use of (as well as my GOVERNMENTAL RACES SPONSOR). I've explained the nature of your inheritance, but somehow - I need to clarify this seemingly contrary policy before I agree.
Please note, my records also show and indicate this "policy" is not because of the numerous amount of DNS records - I will not discuss this further here. Anyone seeing the updates on portal ticket clearing statistics can see that.

Since I pray common scene now prevails - I simply ask you not hold my records "hostage" in this commercialization game.

Dear 44Net community,
It’s been just over two months since we launched the new Portal. It came
with, as you have seen, some major bumps. Today, ARDC is resolving, at
least temporarily, one of those hurdles: administrative access to
subdomains.
As of today, anyone who had a subdomain with ampr.org<http://ampr.org/> before the launch
of the new Portal on April 3, 2024, will, for now, have full access to
their DNS records. This includes subdomains that fall outside of our
preferred format of callsign.ampr.org<http://callsign.ampr.org/>.
This administrative access still depends on call sign verification,
which requires confirming given name, family name, email, and valid
amateur radio license. This step helps us ensure that the network is
being used by valid amateur radio operators. During our recent work,
we’ve found several bad actors, which is both unfair to the community
and a security risk.
We’ve also made a functional change to the portal: once a call sign is
verified, you are now automatically able to create a subdomain with the
format of callsign.ampr.org<http://callsign.ampr.org/>. All other new requests for subdomains that
fall outside of that format (e.g., foo.ampr.org<http://foo.ampr.org/>, which I’ll refer to as
nonstandard subdomains for brevity) will require review and approval.
Please note that we will be limiting the number of nonstandard
subdomains going forward. Thus, if you have one (or, in some cases, many
more), please consider it temporary. You can currently create as many
second-level subdomains as you want—e.g., foo.callsign.ampr.org<http://foo.callsign.ampr.org/>,
bar.callsign.ampr.org<http://bar.callsign.ampr.org/>, etc.
We are working on a more official policy around subdomains using
ampr.org<http://ampr.org/>. As promised at the recent regional coordinators' meeting, we
will ensure you can see this policy before officially implementing it.
We will also provide a transition period, likely many months, for users
to edit their entries before official deprecation. This is, ultimately,
what we should have done initially, and we take responsibility for not
following a better process and, instead, rolling out this change without
taking proper preparatory steps.
Some of you may be wondering why we are making this change in the first
place. It is because, without doing so, we end up in our current and
very unwieldy situation: a database of over 51,000 DNS entries, most
without knowledge of who they belong to, accumulated over at least a
decade, with very few entries currently in use. If we aim to increase
the usage of 44Net, then we need a system where we understand ownership
and are able to provide an efficient service where we can address
problems as they arise.
For now, we hope that this helps to unblock anyone that currently feels
blocked, while also providing an ample notice for changes that are
coming down the pipeline at a later, though likely not-so-distant date.
If you have questions, please ask.
Many thanks,
Rosy

There is no such thing. Maybe you misunderstand what I'm referring to. We are responsible for our own stations during an emergency in the US (hence why ARDC shouldn't mess with MY settings since I may be disconnected from them when discovering it). I assumed this was international at any given moment. If you have no clue or understanding, you should remain silent in that case. It's easier to be quiet and learn tan to be loud and wrong.

But be aware that this network can and will change over the time. Some stuff will break. Some will cease to exist. And new stuff will appear.ARDC is not a ISP nor a commercial entity that provide professional services for commercial grade networking. If the network infrastructure you use is primary for life safety, better go the commercial route. If you are a BACKUP in case everything else is gone.

Lastly, I guess it was forgotten we all can access the DNS records. I want to highlight something of major concern.I'm begging Rosy to stop doing this misquote of the original count or records to make it seem as if there's today an issue under a new portal system that now handles DNS records. I have no clue why this falsehood keeps being perpetuated to the 44net family. Again if they can be handled post-policy, they take utlization the same resources/CPU/skill to identify and handle now.- KB3VWG

As I've already explained, after a 4-year process, we have been approved for governmental installation. Your so-called "policy" is causing concerns where we actually use RF for emergencies.I would need to know when I need to notify organizations that this policy affect their emergency communications plansI need to schedule thisOur sponsor's approval process may be canceled anyway (i.e. your network seems to just make arbitrary changes without even considering the infrastructure, users, usage, DOWNTIME, etc.) - for something like DNS that usually remains untouched once setYou can just imagine other logistics particular to those points. I'm not sure if you think people merely "play radio" or what infrastructure, but please keep in mind people who really have concerns when you send these emails from California (or whatever radio vacation spot foundation funds accommodate communication).Til this date, nobody has once said when changes may actually affect the users, which I find scary for folks who claim to work professionally in the IT field. Most times, we only find out after issues have occurred/discovered. Why am I the only person who finds that odd?- KB3VWG- KB3VWG

Hello everyone,
I have a question for those of you who have BGP announced subnets from
44Net, specifically regarding the configuration of rDNS (PTR) records
for each IP address within the subnet.
Recently, I received an allocation of a /24 subnet, which is announced
via my Data Center's ASN. Everything is functioning correctly, but I
need to configure rDNS for each IP address. This configuration is
essential for hosting email servers to prevent potential issues.
Here is a dlint output for my gateway's IP address:
root@eye:~# dlint 1.77.32.44.in-addr.arpa
;; dlint version 1.4.0, Copyright (C) 1998 Paul A. Balyoz

;; 2024060700 ns2.us.ardc.net.
===
Based on this output, I believe that the rDNS setup needs to be handled
by the ARDC staff. However, I wanted to confirm this to ensure I proceed
correctly.
I reached out to Chris off-list and received the following response:
"You already have the subdomain yo6rzv.ampr.org setup; you can add DNS
records under there. For each A record, a PTR record is automatically
added in the reverse zone."
From my understanding, this does not fully address my requirements,
since for example, if IP Address 44.32.77.2 needs to have the rDNS set
to -> something.yo44.net, this will not help.
I am aware that Chris and the ARDC staff are currently handling a high
volume of tickets and requests through the portal. Therefore, I am
turning to the community for assistance to avoid adding more to their
workload.
I appreciate any guidance you can provide and apologize in advance if
this question has been addressed previously. I could not find relevant
information in my email archive.
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards,
Razvan - YO6RZV
Does anyone know who has admin permissions on the git.ampr.org instance? I tried to create a new account but accidentally entered the wrong email address & would like to get it fixed.
Best,
