I don't think talking to ARIN is going to help much as they seem to have no
over site over 44net space.
This is a direct grandfathered assignment from ICANN. I think charging a
small fee per address block is perfectly reasonable to cover the
administrative costs. Brian have you set up a non-profit paypal account.
That would work really well. Just make sure you tell paypal that it is a
501C3, which will require you to send paperwork. That way they take less
money.

As has been discussed at length on this mailing
list, there are
things that have to be done before we can start delegating subnets.
What is going on is that we (our nonprofit) is attempting to get
organized. That means getting the legal documents handled, setting
up an advisory committee, work out an agreement with ARIN regarding
our delegation policies, writing an acceptable use policy and subnet
delegation contract, establishing procedures to evaluate delegation
requests, and figure out some way to fund all of this.
To get an ASN we will need to negotiate with ARIN regarding their
standard AS contract; it appears to require those applying for an ASN to
relinquish a significant amount of autonomy, an amount that I believe is
incompatable with the way we wish to continue to operate network 44.
BTW… I am here at NANOG and representatives are here from ARIN (John
Curran, David Huberman, Mark Kosters, Carrie Marino, Leslie Nobile). I
would be happy to chat with them if needed.
Note also that an ASN costs $500 plus an annual
maintenance fee.
The nonprofit is already about $1k in the hole, financed entirely by me.
We have no source of funds; everything is being done by volunteers
including a significant amount of pro-bono work by a
networking-policy-savvy
attorney who has kindly volunteered her time even
though she is not
a ham radio licensee (yet).
Where can I send monies?
We need to set up an rwhois server to advise of
the delegations. This is
an ARIN requirement and good network citizenship. It should be
integrated
with the web system.
I may have offered this before, but I would be happy to help set this up.
So we've not been idle; things are slowly
moving forward.
We *will* be delegating subnets when the necessaries are in place.
Sorry
it's
taking so long. Anyone want to help?

PS: perhaps I misunderstand Internet peering, but I don't see any
need to get an ASN before delegating subnets. It might be convenient
but I don't think it's a prerequisite. Perhaps someone knowledgeable
could comment on this.
You don't need a new ASN. Anyone with an ASN can announce 44/8 space in
part or full.
