Re: [44net] A few more questions Re: BGP portal management after WB6CYT's passing

Hi Quan, Chris is indeed the person responsible for the BGP allocations after Brian's passing as was mailed by Phil Karn on Dec 30 2019. -- -- However, the allocation should always be in the portal and approved by your countries coordinator. Afaik an allocation that is not in the portal is technically not valid. I won't speak about the personal details which may or may not need to be shared. That is a discussion to be held with the responsibles from AMPR 73 Ruben ON3RVH -----Original Message----- From: 44Net <44net-bounces+on3rvh=on3rvh.be(a)mailman.ampr.org> On Behalf Of Quan Zhou via 44Net Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2020 06:19 To: 44net(a)mailman.ampr.org Cc: Quan Zhou <quan(a)posteo.net> Subject: [44net] A few more questions Re: BGP portal management after WB6CYT's passing Hi all, Sorry to bother you with a rant, but I'm feeling an urge to ask that what's happening on the AMPR/ARDC. ## Background A few weeks ago I have received a harsh email from Chris G1FEF accusing me for announcing a prefix was assigned to me. In that case, the claimed reason is that the prefix wasn't listed on the AMPR portal. I tried to clear things up by sending him the LOA from WB6CYT, which he claims that is NOT legitimate, also denied possibility there could a bug in the portal caused this. I have also complied with his demands on even more information including all conversations between me and Brian regarding that the assignment. Eventually he continued to ask for even more personal information without justification, threatening that not complying may cause "close of account". ## Questions 1. Has all previous assignment by WB6CYT been overruled? Or am I singled out? 2. What are the current rules on allocation now? A snapshot of the latest version of ToS is at: https://web.archive.org/web/20190731094938/https://www.ampr.org/terms-of-se…    It does not requires personal information beyond ASN addresses. 3. What is G1FEF's role in the allocation, which are the rights that ARDC holds has been delegated to this guy along. 4. The holding-the-ID-in-a-photo-of-you practice is pretty common when dealing with financial institutions and websites frequently deals with fraudsters. Since LIR, RIR, and BGP upstream also requires and validates these ID, Why this is necessary to do it again? 5. Is Chris Smith, G1FEF capable of handling sensitive personal data? He's handling data as natural person, or an legal entity that ARDC approves? 6. If there's another change, do anyone with a allocation has to go through the same process again? I see that we already have a problem with transparency, now we got bureaucracy? Also it's not my problem that the assignment wasn't added to the portal.
