Absolutely. I'd be more than happy to contribute.
My understanding of the routing is that people who want a 44net delegation
need to meet ARIN/RIPE standards which does mean multihoming and a AS#.
There is probably a way to delegate to the ISP level where you'd then
setup private BGP with your ISP. But as a whole, it would seem that it
would initially be outside the realm of many armchair network operators
with home based networks. Certainly you couldn't call up Comcast with your
home cable modem and say that you want to add a block of 44/8's to your
account. I think their AUP might come into the conversation. :-)
Note also that
an ASN costs $500 plus an annual maintenance fee.
The nonprofit is already about $1k in the hole, financed entirely by me.
We have no source of funds; everything is being done by volunteers
including a significant amount of pro-bono work by a
networking-policy-savvy
attorney who has kindly volunteered her time even
though she is not
a ham radio licensee (yet).
Where can I send monies?
PS: perhaps I misunderstand Internet peering, but I don't see any
need to get an ASN before delegating subnets. It might be convenient
but I don't think it's a prerequisite. Perhaps someone knowledgeable
could comment on this.
You don't need a new ASN. Anyone with an ASN can announce 44/8 space in
part or full.
