Bob,<div><br></div><div>User registration and network management are separate functions.  I think that after a user registers, any network (address, LAN, etc.) requests go to the coordinator for that address space.</div><div>
<br></div><div>By registering, the Net-44 administration community captures contact information.  If a network manager disappears, we can reassign the network and have a way to contact everyone on that network.</div><div>
<br></div><div>The network manager still is the best source for how LANs and addresses should be allocated.  It is just good overall management to have a database of contact information for every net, subnet, and host.<br clear="all">

    <div>I don&#39;t see much a need for the user to
      register depending on the situation.<br>
      You should make as much info available to the end user as possible
      without registering.<br>
      That is the info about the city (area) and who is responsible for
      that gateway- call/Name, etc<br>
      With the call/name they can find us at <a href="http://qrz.com" target="_blank">qrz.com</a> or google.<br>
      You should direct more to the gateway operator as we are are
      running those gateways in the first place.<br>
      People have a need for info about how to run gateways, jnos, linux
      and it is the gateway operators<br>
      who can help.<br>
      I receive a lot of questions about this and I help a lot of
      people.<br>
      <br>
      Also a lot or maybe some of the gateways operators can already
      issue new 44 addresses for their own gateways (I can)<br>
      so it should be good if the user can contact us.<br>
      <br>
      We are often in a much better position to help that new user
      without waiting.<br>
