That is fine but how do you make sure no one is planning to route it and how would a
dispute be resolved...this is much like repeater pairs and why they are usually
coordinated in an area.
I may give it a try and see where it goes, I will just squat on a block and see who
screams :)
Thanks

If a subnet is laying dormant in your coverage area (and there are many) it is up for
grabs for you to route.
But you have to make absolutely sure that no one is planing to
route that subnet already.
You are only doing people who are already having an address/host
name in it a favour.
The first thing you should do if you start a gateway is to look
for old subnets in your coverage area who are laying dormant
in my opinion.

A couple of issues that I see coming down the line as a regional
coordinator.
1. Persons receiving an allocation disappear after a period of
time,
abandoning the allocation in the process, and don't release
the allocation. There is no apparent method for the regional
coordinator to attempt contact with the person and or release the
allocation if the person cannot be contacted or found.
2. Since a person has to register on the Amprnet portal and
provide contact
information, it would seem logical for the
coordinator to be able to see the contact record.
3. In lieu of providing the regional coordinator a method to
recover abandoned
allocations, put an expiration date on the
allocation with notification to the person receiving the
allocation that they must log into the portal to renew the
allocation prior to expiration. The expiration date would relative
to the date of issuance or renewal. I would say a 2 to 5 year
reservation on the allocation seems reasonable.
