Matt, I have similar transition issues, except that mine are more
locally confined, but still involve the reassignment of over 200 IP
addresses and liaising with multiple ham network coordinators (D-STAR
and IRLP, along with the Echolink relays at a minimum require manual
administrator intervention). This is a massive job, and I also turned
to 44.x address space to avoid the commercial renumbering merry go round
(I had renumbered at least 3 times previously). Also, having access to
a /24 instead of a /28 allows me to provide more services to hams.

Hi Rosy and thanks for your detailed email.
As a holder of 44.136.160 (BGP Advertised) it would be great to find
out if I have to move to 44.31 and if so when. One of our use cases
is part of a very large DMR repeater network. Many changes will
require trips to very remote mountain tops to reprogram repeaters.
These repeaters are located thousands of KM from each other and as you
can understand it's a massive job. Ironically we changed the servers
all to the 44 net so we would not have to re-number our addresses
going forward which had been a limitation of commercial offerings in
the past.
We understand and are grateful that ARDC has given us the space but
would be very appreciative if we could have some warning of the
changes and some time to cut over (at least 6 months) and if plans
were forwarded to stakeholders by an official and unified channel. So
far All I know about these changes have been gleamed from different
emails in the mailing list that at times im to busy to concentrate on.
Thanks again for the update and I appreciate the opportunity to ask
some questions.
