Hi David,
I recommend adding a link from the portal to the TOS which spells out the
allocation period and terms.
http://www.ampr.org/tos.txt
BTW, any reason why ampr.org and www.ampr.org can't have exactly the same
IP address (or make one a cname) so that entering either one gets you to
the same website? Ie. the 'www' shouldn't really be necessary in a URI.
The 44.0.0.1 address is already nailed down by gw.

A couple of issues that I see coming down the
line as a regional
coordinator.
1. Persons receiving an allocation disappear after a period of time,
abandoning the allocation in the process, and don't release the
allocation. There is no apparent method for the regional coordinator to
attempt contact with the person and or release the allocation if the
person cannot be contacted or found.
This is already addressed in the new system: After a suitable period of
time following the initial allocation, the system will email the end
user of the allocated subnet with a link asking them to click on the
link to confirm they are still active and using the IP's. For anyone not
wishing to click on a link in an email, the email will also advise them
that they can login to the portal as usual to confirm their ongoing use
of the subnet.
