Hello 44Net'rs
One of the initiatives for the 2023 Technical Advisory Committee is to
work on ironing out kinks in our current coordination process across all
regions. Not a simple task, but definitely one that is needed.
As mentioned previously, we have limited resources to work with, and it
is going to take time to service requests (sometimes too long). The
current process is that local coordinators do initial work on the front
end and provide prerequisite information to Chris before he can
effectively service a request on the back end. We can't expect Chris to
ping-pong emails to get information from everyone and do the entire
process alone.
To improve our system, what is needed is an updated coordination
procedure that applies policies uniformly and that doesn't rely solely
on any one person to execute. Longer term, a new 44Net portal will help
to implement and automate some of this.
To get improvements rolling, ARDC will be sending out a virtual meeting
invitation to all local coordinators in February to discuss some of the
pain points and to brainstorm about solutions.

At the point Chris suggests something else, the
regional coordinator is not involved. Most (maybe all) the regionals are responsible for a
specific subnet. If you are kicked upstairs, so to speak, then the regional is out of the
picture. That is what happened to me for IRLP. I started with my regional, actually just
using the portal for my first request (it was actually a legacy allocation set up by
BrianK back in 2015).
When Chris got involved and understood what I wanted to do, he asked me about a larger
block in 44.127-land. That is what I went with, and my regional coordinator was no longer
involved. But it all started with my regional. If you are already down that road, by all
means reach out to Chris. Once you are direct with Chris, there is no longer any need to
involve your regional unless you are using part of his address space.

What happens now is if the request for BGP is made with a state or country coordinator,
when it is "approved" it is picked up by G1FEF who changes the allocated subnet.
Why then is the local coordinator involved if the result is to be outside of the local
plan? A longer view clarification needs to happen so as to avoid mistakes and questions.

To unsubscribe send an email to 44net-leave(a)mailman.ampr.org It is possible the regional coordinator may have
a local preference as to where in his/her numbering plan, larger allocations are placed.
Once the allocation is established, it is handed over to Chris for global action.
