An issue I see here is that 44.190/16 was allocated to networks with no specific geographic location, and was/is intended for Internet facing services. A number of us (including myself) have space in here that is BGP announced (I'd say the majority, if not all the allocations here are BGP announced). What's going to happen with that space? Renumbering a BGP announced space is going to be highly disruptive, and for some services that require geolocation (e.g. Echolink proxies), there will be longer term anomalies in operation, while the geolocation databases are updated.

Fellow radio amateurs, I am writing to you on behalf of the ARDC TAC, which I represent.
Those of you that were on our Community Call last Saturday may remember that I promised you we would share our first proposal with the community. A few days after that, I am happy to send that to you for your review, feedback, comments, questions, and information!
You can find our 5-page PDF here: https://pdf.daknob.net/ardc/tac128.pdf https://pdf.daknob.net/ardc/tac128.pdf
The title is "ARDC 44.128/10 Allocation Proposal” and it briefly explains what we propose to do with the IPv4 space of ARDC. It is based on careful consideration, planning, and actual research[1] performed on the IP network and the Portal allocations.
Since the TAC does not have any authority on the IP (or any other) resources of ARDC, and we only have an advisory role, we end this document with a proposed resolution we intend to submit soon to the ARDC Board of Directors, where we urge them to vote and approve some key things required for us to be able to achieve what is described.
We believe that the TAC represents the community and the 44 Net users, so we created this document and post it here in advance, with the purpose of being able to answer your questions, collect your feedback, and hear from you. This is why we briefly explain the situation in about 4 pages, and then we end with the resolution we want the ARDC Board of Directors to approve.
I hope you like it, and I remain at your disposal for anything you may need.
Antonis
