I am thinking more of using BGP to distribute the info, could be used as
routing
info as well but not necessarily, usually one can configure BGP to store
the info
in a separate routing table used only for lookup in a firewall rule or
similar.
Everyone only needs to advertise their own IPv6 networks, and will
receive all
the others from the peers. No need to put all that info in a central
database!
Of course you would require some BGP peers and the portal could be a source
of contact info to set them up. But once you have enough peers so that the
network does not split up into islands when some random participant stops,
it does not require some central resource where all info is stored. And when
we would have those global routers as explained in my proposal, they could
run the BGP instance for this as well (and still not be essential for
its operation).

Make a list of HAMs who are announcing AMPRnet prefixes along with

so everybody can access it. That would be more formalized without
being needlessly centralized.
