Are the co-ordinators really even checking the portal..... is this huge block of IP addresses being administered efficiently?
Getting IP's is a huge pain......it should not be this hard........
If the coordinator is registered on the portal they get an email notification for every new IP request. It's working in my case. I've had some new requests and some "please drop my block" requests. So far my response time is less than 24 hours. If your coordinator has gone silent it's up to Brian to find a new one for that subnet.
Is this as efficient as we can be? I don't know how we could do it for less cost or faster than a volunteer process. Even coding some kind of automation for screening call signs and valid requests would take some serious man-hours.
