On or about January 5, 2021 I received an end-user
allocation request for a
"direct" /24 allocation "for working with ARDEN and IRLP for VPN and link
setups" which I approved and submitted via portal.ampr.org. It
didn't create the allocation I assigned to the network but was "referred to
BGP coordinator". So far, there has been no action and no response to the
original request nor a follow up to my request via the "contact us" link on
the black hole that is the ampr.org portal. What is the status of the
system and how are coordinators expected to act in this regard? I try to
give my users timely, responsive service but it's very frustrating when I
can't even track a submission or review submission histories. The end user
has informed me that he is still awaiting action on the request.
Hello Geoff,
normally the next action is that Chris Smith (G1EFF) responds up with
a request to re-transmit all the details privately by email, and to
move the conversation off-list ... after which (we) rarely ever get to
hear anything more...
(Perhaps that is a bit of generalisation, though such requests seem to
be frequent enough for patterns to form and emerge. Would it make
sense, in future, that all requests initially raised *on-list* could
receive a follow-up also *on-list* will a summary of what
happened. (eg. T+1 week).
