If there is a problem with coordinators "dropping out" for various reasons (forgot to update contact into, deceased, etc), then there is a possible way to automate this:
-Say every 3-6 months (maybe more, maybe less), have the ampr.org system send out a message to the registered coordinators address asking to verify/update their contact info. You could also make this a semi-annual affairs in like January and July (or any other two months). Failure to do so after 3 tries over a week or so results in a message being sent to a predefined address (even this list) saying that the automated verification system failed to receive a response from x. You could even go one step further and have several coordinators for the verification system itself which receive notification of the first several failed attempts at contacting a coordinator, so they can take steps to get in touch and keep the final messages from going out to the list. The possibilities are endless, and it likely would not be too difficult for someone with a moderate amount of <insert favorite scripting language for web apps here> using a database backed system to implement it (or add fields to the existing ampr.org databases for verification).
This would help ensure that any "gaps" are fixed within a reasonable amount of time for this volunteer run project.
Just my 2 cents.
