All,

When you corrupt the DNS as you did here, you create the potential for
severe damage or loss of life. I have assigned several subnets to San
Bernardino RACES and other emergency response groups who potentially
rely on DNS to function and you can take those networks down in one
ignorant action.

This concerns me greatly.

ARDC licence their IP address space "exclusively for the purpose of Amateur Radio communications and experimentation”. If anyone (coordinator or otherwise) chooses to allow the address space to be used for any other purpose, they cannot provide any SLA, or other assurances of any sort on behalf of ARDC.

The ARDC address space is not designed for use in any circumstances where a person’s life is in any way reliant upon it (or any ancillary services, such as DNS) being available at any time.

The terms of use specify: "All address(es) licensed to You remain the sole and exclusive property of ARDC. You do not obtain any rights, title, or interest in the address(es) nor in the AMPRNet.

and also: “Licenses may be rescinded or suspended by ARDC at any time and for any reason.

It is imperative that everyone using ARDC address space bears all of this in mind, and if you allow anyone else to use the address space they must also be made aware of the terms.

Thank you.
