Re: [44net] Coordinator Privileges on Amprnet Portal

(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ That is fine but how do you make sure no one is planning to route it and how would a dispute be resolved...this is much like repeater pairs and why they are usually coordinated in an area. I may give it a try and see where it goes, I will just squat on a block and see who screams :) Thanks Bob _______________________________________________ If a subnet is laying dormant in your coverage area (and there are many) it is up for grabs for you to route. But you have to make absolutely sure that no one is planing to route that subnet already. You are only doing people who are already having an address/host name in it a favour. The first thing you should do if you start a gateway is to look for old subnets in your coverage area who are laying dormant in my opinion.

Persons receiving an allocation disappear after a period of time, abandoning the allocation in the process, and don't release the allocation. There is no apparent method for the regional coordinator to attempt contact with the person and or release the allocation if the person cannot be contacted or found. 2. Since a person has to register on the Amprnet portal and provide contact information, it would seem logical for the coordinator to be able to see the contact record. 3. In lieu of providing the regional coordinator a method to recover abandoned allocations, put an expiration date on the allocation with notification to the person receiving the allocation that they must log into the portal to renew the allocation prior to expiration. The expiration date would relative to the date of issuance or renewal. I would say a 2 to 5 year reservation on the allocation seems reasonable.
