It seems as if I misinterpreted your earlier message summarizing the
offline discussions Brian.
Splitting up the address space by delegations of smaller chunks to
commercial service providers with different AS-numbers and policies will
lead to a historical mistake. Is that what you propose in your latest
message ? or am I missing something now?
The way to create the trust and support for a radio amateur policy is to
keep it together by keeping the delegations inside the community under
an amprnet as-number facilitating multi-homing without tunnels
connecting the delegations to the outside world anywhere via peering and
transit agreements and keeping the challenge of internal connectivity
between delegations as the driver of innovation that will take radio
amateurism to the next level.
Managing interdomain peering and transit via bgp, announcing delegated
pieces of the 44/8 via different border routers is not difficult and can
be done with low cost solutions and open source routing software, much
cheaper than most rigs.
In what way will the ham community benefit from splitting up the
resource? In no way that I can see, but there is a lot to loose.

I was wondering how that worked for LEGACY. But
isn't it sort of a
chicken/egg issue? If you have an ASN , you can advertise 44/8. But if
you don't, you have to meet the current ARIN standards? So really it's
just the legal aspect that needs to be addressed so that the delegates
aren't permanently transferred when delegated.
I believe the question of
getting an ASN only comes up when a new peer comes on
line (for example, a new ISP that has or plans to have multiple upstream NSPs).
Since it is likely that all delegations will be done via existing service
providers, I think we don't need our own ASN at this time.
