44Net Update, June 28, 2024

by Rebecca Key

** *Hey Everyone,* * Below are some updates from this week regarding 44Net: As of today, * About 34 new portal tickets remain (21% decrease from last week), and * About 288 tickets are open and awaiting response (1% increase from last week). Since April 3, we have closed 735 tickets (1% increase from last week). On the note of metrics, we recently had some great questions regarding key performance indicators (KPIs). We’re working on developing additional metrics to expose these once we have a production quality process in place. If any of you have any other questions regarding metrics, please let us know: any constructive feedback is welcome! Regarding DNS claims: if you have any that you would like deleted, please email a list to newportal(a)ardc.net <mailto:newportal@ardc.net>, and we’ll take care of deleting them for you. The following new features have been added to the portal: * Clubs and organizations are now able to add up to 10 of their own call signs by default. This number can be adjusted on a per club / organization basis. * The individual limit of 5 call signs is also now adjustable on a per user basis. * Individuals can now belong to multiple clubs / organizations on a single account, eliminating the need to create multiple logins if you are involved with several clubs / organizations. * A ‘Maps’ menu has been added: this allows users to generate a map from a Maidenhead locator, as well as perform distance and bearing calculations, and can convert from DMS to lat/long and back. If anyone has suggestions for useful tools to add to the portal, please let us know at newportal(a)ardc.net <mailto:newportal@ardc.net>. ARDC is Hiring: if you’re interested in applying for the role of Technology Department Manager, send a resume and cover letter to hr(a)ardc.net <mailto:hr@ardc.net>. Ensure that your documents include your call sign, and be sure to send all files (including a cover letter) as a PDF attachment without spaces in the name (e.g., jane-doe-cover-letter.pdf). You can learn more about the role by checking out our latest blog post here: https://www.ardc.net/technology-department-manager/ <https://www.ardc.net/technology-department-manager/> As many of you have asked about ways to help with the portal: if you come across something in the portal documentation (https://www.ardc.net/wp-content/uploads/portal-2.0-technical-documentation-… <https://www.ardc.net/wp-content/uploads/portal-2.0-technical-documentation-…>) that’s not clear or intuitive, or if you have other feedback, please let us know at newportal(a)ardc.net <mailto:newportal@ardc.net>.

Update re: subdomains

by Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV

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 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. 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. All other new requests for subdomains that fall outside of that format (e.g., 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, bar.callsign.ampr.org, etc. We are working on a more official policy around subdomains using 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 -- Rosy Schechter - KJ7RYV Executive Director Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) ardc.net

Re: [ARDC:Coordinators] Welcome to coordinators@ardc.groups.io

by Charles J. Hargrove

Reviewing some of the messages on the ARDC coordinators list from last September, and then comparing it to our experiences since April 3rd, will make you wonder what has really "improved" over the old way of doing things. There has been a notification for another coordinators' Zoom meeting about a month away. Will we be getting the same "we goofed, but everything is fine" responses from those in ARDC paid positions? I really hope that they have learned the painful lesson of the failed cut-over, but it is hard to see anything through the fog. BTW, Jon had left his paid ARDC position soon before the April 3rd mess.

AMPR WHOIS

by Razvan YO6RZV

Hello all, Quick question, I tried to find informations about the AMPR WHOIS, but I did not find something relevant. I'm trying to see how my BGP announced allocation is showing up in the AMPR WHOIS. I tried first from my home ISP, but I was prompted with a 403 Forbidden Apache webpage on the whois.ampr.org. I also tried to access the same via the 44Net VPN (Wireguard) and I've received the same. Tried to access it via one of my BGP announced IP's, the same. If somebody has a KB or some informations about the restrictions (e.g. who can interogate the WHOIS) from what IP Addresses, etc. I would really appreciate gaining some informations about this side. -- 73's Thanks, Razvan - YO6RZV

"Experience working with nonprofits and/or open-source technology projects is required." In other words, if you come from a corporate background then don't bother.
