With all the discussion about Coordinators... And I do realize this was never about ID'ing Coordinators.. I have no issues if a list of regional coordinators was maintained on the reflector. Listing States covered and an email.
I realize the system sends each coordinator an automatic email when requests are made for their assigned area.. But as I have done over the years.. I have changed ISP's or Careers and forgot to update my email with certain systems.. What I also have found.. Is when someone asks me directly for an IP Address.. And they know who I am . I usually get to work directly with them on their station setup.. and or Gateway etc...
Just my 2 Cents..
Back to the portal.. Spending a few minutes looking over things.. Unfortunately IP requests and such are so rare I often forget how to until I either spend some time re-learning or asking..

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ There seems to be some confusion here. The discussion was never about verifying the identities of coordinators.
The original suggestion was that there was a way to bypass simple address assignment by automating the process.
I explained at the time that the coordinators perform a valuable service that can't be automated in any practical way.
In fact, many coordinators do far more than assign addresses - they consult with users and provide assistance in getting their stations on the net. Many of the people currently using AMPRNet would not have been able to do so without the help of their local coordinator.
I think the coordinators, many of whom have been performing that service for years, deserve a round of thanks from the community. They certainly have my appreciation for their hard work and dedication. - Brian
