That is a no brainier to get the AS number. I will chip in for sure. In fact I really think any group that is doing BGP should be requried to flip the bill for part of the re-issue thru donations for direct funding.
Brian are you still waiting on CA or the IRS to get you the 501c3 status. It would really help to raise funds. (maybe we should change the application to be ampr teaparty to speed things up) just kidding, but would probably work. (sorry for DX stations that is a US joke as the IRS just got in a lot of hot water for dragging their feet on any application that contained the words tea or party for a tax exempt status) By being a 501c3 US citizens donations are pretax dollars and in some cases like my wife's employer. (The little beverage company based in Atlanta GA think red and white logo.) They match 2 for 1 aka we write a check for $100 they mail a check for $200 to ampr.
Just a thought does ARIN not cut a break on the price if your a non-profit? Do they charge UCSD for the AS number?

As mentioned before, we would need a new AS number from ARIN.
How would the AS number be funded?
There’s an initial $550 fee, plus $100/year
