The NPO (US) that I am associated with has dedicated IP IPV4 and
IPV6 address space, and currently hosts a gateway to the ARDC
managed IP space. The equipment was provided by, and is
supported by licensed amateurs.
Personal opinion: if the gateway / POP is not directly
controlled by a licensed amateur, it should not be using ARDC IP
space.

Chris: Sounds good, thank you.
Terence,
I am not the most familiar with hamnet, although at some point, there has to be a ham involved, right? The way repeaters typically work here is that a ham or group of hams speaks to a building owner and asks for an agreement to host a repeater and a little bit of rooftop space. That repeater is then usually referred to by the callsign of the ham(s) who maintain it and have the agreement with the building owner.
Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but does hamnet usually work in a similar way? If so, couldn't the site be named pi90ibm.pd3t.ampr.org, assuming you are the maintainer of that site?
If there isn't a ham involved at any step:- How is it legal use of the amateur bands?- Is it really a ham radio network at that point?

I see a lot of issues with hamnet pops without clubcallsings and are just commercial building owners willing to host the housing for a hamnet pop to extend the amprnet wireless network range.
You do want those site to be recognizable some of those sites can even host services like remote sdrs.
For example ibm is willing to host a pop for network coverage. To make it recognizable you can name it pi90ibm. This aint an official callsign. How is one going to verify that?Did you think about those?
