Okay so we will leave the over the air regulations part out of the discussion.
What I see is that "secure communications" are mostly dictated by the user end applications. So I don't feel that it really has anything to do with ARDC, as technically they just administer the IP space (not really even the networks). However if you are suggesting best (secure) practices for interconnecting the proposed points of presence, then that could be a valid discussion topic, and that would be best discussed with those on that committee.
There was a good idea, basically an IETF for ham radio a while back, and it's website or formal name escapes me ( I am sure someone will chime in). That would likely be a good way to address your concerns. I feel your idea has to be a concept presented to a number of user and application software developers.

It would be most helpful if the amprnet BOD could post in writing an official statement regarding using common secure communications (https. TLS etc.) over the 44. IP network.
This email list is used for communications regarding the use of the IP address space. I'm not asking about the use of encryption over part 97 RF radio, just the 44 network IP address space. I am not aware of any portion of the Part 97 rules that apply to the wired internet at large.
Everyone has an opinion, but it's time for the amprnet Board to clarify the muddy waters around the use of the amprnet IP space and publish those rules.
Please!
