(Please trim inclusions from previous messages) _______________________________________________ Hi David,
A couple of issues that I see coming down the line as a regional coordinator.
- 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.
I recommend adding a link from the portal to the TOS which spells out the allocation period and terms.
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.
