This thread seems to have got a bit off topic from “subdomains” but to respond to some of the points brought up:
1. Having call signs “owned” by an organisation on the portal is not a scenario we envisaged during the design phase. However, it is a very good point and has now been added to the feature request list as a high priority.
2. In relation to point 1. How do we vet the person requesting access to use an organisation’s call sign? This is really only an issue for US based clubs as the call sign has a trustee listed on the ULS database, but it would seem, that person is not always able/willing/interested in creating an account on the portal to have the call sign verified. This certainly needs more thought.
The ideal situation would be for the trustee to create an account on the portal, verify the call sign, then hand it off to another member in the organisation, i.e. once setup they do not have to be the POC for the call sign - is this really asking too much of someone who has already agreed to be the trustee, which arguably comes with such responsibilities?
3. The subdomain policy that is in progress currently will definitely include a workflow for non-standard subdomain formats. I expect (although bear in mind the policy has not been agreed upon yet, so is subject to change) that the policy will state that the preferred subdomain format will be
callsign.ampr.org and that anything else will be considered on a case by case basis.
The portal will currently automatically approve (and create) a subdomain based on the
callsign.ampr.org format, provided that “callsign” is one of your own call signs that has been verified. Any other subdomain request will create a ticket for manual processing.
If anyone wants to respond to any of the above points, please can they create a new thread with an appropriate subject as this one is getting very mixed up!
Thanks & 73,

Very good point, and having that "something" be a document vetted by ARDC Legal would also likely be good.

ARDC could provide a call sign authority delegation PDF file that can be
filled out and signed by the club call sign trustee. This document would
state that a particular person is the designated ARDC delegate for the
club and is authorized to utilize the club call sign in the ARDC related
systems. This would then be submitted back into the portal as a scan /
upload by the ARDC delegate. Call it a Call Sign LOA, similar to the
routing LOAs we use to delegate portions of BGP allocations and assure
the appropriate parties that the usage is approved.
