Sounds like Chris needs some help!
By the way, did those guys ever get the DNS RRs straightened out for the
44.224.x.x & 44.225.x.x namespaces? I think not! I thought AMAZON owns
those now!!! Oh WAIT, Google's public dns server shows that they do.
Hey, I'll volunteer my services to administer the DNS zones if given the
tools. Really! I'm retired and bored, so WHY NOT?
Here's why I ask about this:
-----------

This has to be fixed ASAP!
Chris? Phil? I'll help in any way I can if you need to spread the
workload!

Hi all,
Sorry to bother you with a rant, but I'm feeling an urge to ask that
what's happening on the AMPR/ARDC.
## Background
A few weeks ago I have received a harsh email from Chris G1FEF accusing
me for announcing a prefix was assigned to me. In that case, the claimed
reason is that the prefix wasn't listed on the AMPR portal.
I tried to clear things up by sending him the LOA from WB6CYT, which he
claims that is NOT legitimate, also denied possibility there could a bug
in the portal caused this. I have also complied with his demands on even
more information including all conversations between me and Brian
regarding that the assignment. Eventually he continued to ask for even
more personal information without justification, threatening that not
complying may cause "close of account".
## Questions
1. Has all previous assignment by WB6CYT been overruled? Or am I singled
out?
2. What are the current rules on allocation now? A snapshot of the
latest version of ToS is at:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190731094938/https://www.ampr.org/terms-of-se…
It does not requires personal information beyond ASN addresses.
3. What is G1FEF's role in the allocation, which are the rights that
ARDC holds has been delegated to this guy along.
4. The holding-the-ID-in-a-photo-of-you practice is pretty common when
dealing with financial institutions and websites frequently deals with
fraudsters. Since LIR, RIR, and BGP upstream also requires and validates
these ID, Why this is necessary to do it again?
5. Is Chris Smith, G1FEF capable of handling sensitive personal data?
He's handling data as natural person, or an legal entity that ARDC
approves?
6. If there's another change, do anyone with a allocation has to go
through the same process again?
I see that we already have a problem with transparency, now we got
bureaucracy? Also it's not my problem that the assignment wasn't added
to the portal.
Best Regards,
Quan

Hi. As you all know, Brian Kantor WB6CYT passed
away suddenly last
month. Brian did so much for AMPRNet from the very beginning that he'll
be impossible to fully replace. We're trying but it's hard, especially
since he was a close personal friend.
Chris Smith, G1FEF (chris(a)g1fef.co.uk) has kindly volunteered to take
over Brian's portal work and to handle portal and BGP allocation
requests. Please direct queries to him.
73, Phil Karn, KA9Q
President, ARDC
