If a subnet is laying dormant in your coverage area (and there are many)
it is up for grabs for you to route.
But you have to make absolutely sure that no one is planing to route
that subnet already.
You are only doing people who are already having an address/host name in
it a favour.
The first thing you should do if you start a gateway is to look for old
subnets in your coverage area who are laying dormant
in my opinion.

A couple of issues that I see coming down the line as a regional
coordinator.
1. Persons receiving an allocation disappear after a period of time,
abandoning the allocation in the process, and don't release the
allocation. There is no apparent method for the regional coordinator
to attempt contact with the person and or release the allocation if
the person cannot be contacted or found.
2. Since a person has to register on the Amprnet portal and provide
contact information, it would seem logical for the coordinator to be
able to see the contact record.
3. In lieu of providing the regional coordinator a method to recover
abandoned allocations, put an expiration date on the allocation with
notification to the person receiving the allocation that they must log
into the portal to renew the allocation prior to expiration. The
expiration date would relative to the date of issuance or renewal. I
would say a 2 to 5 year reservation on the allocation seems reasonable.
