I am wondering if you can describe the ways you have been able to
utilize the ARDC Technical Advisory Committee related to these ideas
that you have heard come up internally and how you plan to use the TAC
going forward.

I have
completely your survey but one thing seems to be
missing: How some of this grant money can be given back to the 44Net
group (aka.. the people who use this 44.x.x.x address space) or
projects that interface with it. After all, it was the substantial
sale of this 44.x.x.x IPv4 address space that made all this possible
and we should invest some of it back into what remains.
Copy this. One of the questions in the survey is something like, "What
are the questions we should have asked and what are your answers?" I
appreciate you offering your answer regarding the supporting the 44net
address space here.
- Fortification of AMPR infrastructure
- Ensured 44.x.x.x gateway access to the Internet (currently UCSD
hosted)
- Investment into the AMPR portal, wiki
- Consider hosting a VPN service for those who cannot get IPIP
working through
their ISP
- Consideration of solving the pending rPKI
issue for our BGP
users
- Investment in other projects that use AMPR 44.x.x.x services
- AREDN mesh
- Linux AX.25 stack (in poor shape)
- RoIP communities like Allstar, IRLP, Echolink, DV-Switch, etc
(no specific order)
These are all excellent ideas and speak to some that I've also heard
come up internally.
