Hi Everyone,
As a casual observer and out of curiosity, I looked over the proposed TAC
document and I'm left puzzled as to what REAL problem this proposal is
attempting to resolve??
In this day and age of very inexpensive, commodity ARM-processor based
computers (like the RPi4B or Rock64, etc.), the notion that cheap routers
have insufficient resources to maintain large dynamic (or even static!)
routing tables and quickly route traffic, leaves me completely
baffled--since I already do this all the time.
Also, I really don't understand why in this day and age of scarce IPv4
space, anyone would want to make a new, private, non-Internet available
block?? I realize the original intentions and the purpose behind the 44/8
allocation. With the absolute explosion of directly ham-radio oriented
IoT devices, I would argue that Internet routable "experimenters" space is
more important now than ever.
What am I missing here?

Fellow radio amateurs, I am writing to you on behalf
of the ARDC TAC,
which I represent.
Those of you that were on our Community Call last Saturday may remember
that I promised you we would share our first proposal with the community. A
few days after that, I am happy to send that to you for your review,
feedback, comments, questions, and information!
You can find our 5-page PDF here: https://pdf.daknob.net/ardc/tac128.pdf <

The title is "ARDC 44.128/10 Allocation Proposal” and it briefly explains
what we propose to do with the IPv4 space of ARDC. It is based on careful
consideration, planning, and actual research[1] performed on the IP network
and the Portal allocations.
Since the TAC does not have any authority on the IP (or any other)
resources of ARDC, and we only have an advisory role, we end this document
with a proposed resolution we intend to submit soon to the ARDC Board of
Directors, where we urge them to vote and approve some key things required
for us to be able to achieve what is described.
We believe that the TAC represents the community and the 44 Net users, so
we created this document and post it here in advance, with the purpose of
being able to answer your questions, collect your feedback, and hear from
you. This is why we briefly explain the situation in about 4 pages, and
then we end with the resolution we want the ARDC Board of Directors to
approve.
I hope you like it, and I remain at your disposal for anything you may
need.
Antonis
