[44net] Re: [EastNetPacket] Requesting New Allocations Is Incomplete

I just received email and then a phone call from a person that wanted to join one of our networks in the Northeast USA for the purposes of routing Echolink, repeaters and more. When logging onto the "new" AMPR portal, they were given only a choice of a few subnets based on a dropdown list of intended uses. None of them jived with the networks in any of the individual states or countries. I would suggest spreading the word that all requests for new or expanded allocations be held up until things can be straightened out. It seems that their small volunteer force is unable to keep up with the workload since the changeover on April 3rd. I personally have over a dozen tickets unassigned and even one from 4/3. Everyone just standby and chill until they figure things out. No need to expect steak when they are working with hamburger. I just jumped on the AMPR portal and found only these choices: IPIP Tunnel Mesh 44.63.0.0/16 BGP Direct Announce 44.32.0.0/16 Radio 44.61.0.0/16 Globally Unique 44.61.0.0/16 General Address 44.61.0.0/16 AREDN - contact AREDN directly HAMNET - contact HAMNET directly in Europe HAMWAN - contact HAMWAN directly
