Lin,
The Germans are obviously better organised than the Swedes regarding AMPRnet. Have you checked out http://www.de.ampr.org/doku.php/wiki/syntax ? It is something similar I am trying to get going in Sweden.
I had a couple of very informal discussions with friends involved in the operation of the Swedish University Network (SUNET) about the possibility to start announcing the Swedish AMPR space (44.140/16) from a research network connected to Sunet via BGP peering.
None of my contacts saw a direct show stopper, but all of them emphasized that before the questions is popped formally via a proposal, which the SUNET board can accept or reject, there has to be a crystal clear acceptable use policy (AUP) and an enforcement model with acceptable sanctions if the AUP is broken.
SUNET is known to be fairly liberal but a minimal requirement is of course that its own AUP is not violated. The SUNET AUP is available at http://basun.sunet.se/html_docs/info_sunet/rules.html. The AMPRnet AUP probably has to be much more restrictive to conform to ham license rules. A preamble should probably also include pointers to evidence of public good aspects, especially from a research and higher education perspective.
Is this path worth pursuing?
