Chris, Thanks, I think point one has been addressed mutiple times. I understand that.I
don't understand if or when they will be deleted. I was given an apology for what I
understood to be the reason this line of discussion was opened with the Executive Staff,
my Regional Coordinator and myself.I know the discussion got clouded by others, but that
seems to be why I can't do anything with my records since...April 4 as I recall? I
understand nobody seem to understand altering a Global DNS record that someone in
"West Jiblip" may use - and when it shall change, my apologies.At minimum the
apology explained I'd understand that. We can chat about unrelated records, etc.
later. Since I also want to make note the discussion went into an example of how I CNAME.
I am willing to edit my records if the portal allows (not dns-mdc) as a gesture, if any.-

discussions, all is well.Always.Since we now understand privately Rosy in judgment of you
position deferres to you technically, which I respect - I hope you now consider my simple
2 inquiries that began (what I understood) to be why I responded about one or two of my
examle records that I'm having issues claiming (as the tickets are on hold for
different reasons, one assuming I just accepted a categorical name change in lieu of my
claim ticketS), where you mentioned a ticket - as follows:I have logged in and understand
that the portal system says "with user".Yes, “with user” means the ticket is
with you and waiting for your response.What I do not understand is this -Is there a policy
in place?Relating to subdomains? No, not yet. As Rosy said we are developing this policy
right now. My hope is that it will be ready soon (days or weeks, hopefully not
months).Will you then proceed to delete these "non callsign" entries once one it
is implemented?As the policy is not in force yet, I cannot answer this question as it will
depend on what the policy ends up stating.Right now we have an SOP in place that that we
are working to: - We would prefer everyone to use the callsign.ampr.org format, if you
request a subdomain in this format it will be automatically approved provided: - The call
sign is yours, - The call sign has been verified. - If you request a subdomain based on
one of your call signs that has not been verified you will see a popup advising you to get
it verified first, then come back and request the subdomain. - If you request a subdomain
that is not based on one of your call signs it will popup a warning advising what our
preferred format is. - In both the above two cases you have the option to ignore the
warning and continue, in which case a ticket will be created for manual processing. - If
we receive a ticket for a subdomain that does not exist in DNS yet (i.e. a new request)
the request will be considered on a case by case basis, you may be asked to justify your
request, so we can understand if your use case is a good fit, often these requests will be
discussed amongst the ARDC staff to gain consensus on the final decision. - If we receive
a ticket for a subdomain that already exists in DNS we will first of all attempt to
ascertain if you have a legitimate right to request it, e.g. do the existing DNS records
match one of your network assignments, or if you are a coordinator one of the network
allocations you look after, failing that we will ask you to justify your request. If we
are satisfied that your request is legitimate, i.e. you’re not trying to steal someone
else’s subdomain! then your request will be approved with the following proviso /
warning:—8< snip >8---Important notice about this subdomain approvalOver the past
decade, ARDC has accumulated a database of over 51,000 DNS entries, the vast majority of
which are unused and “ownership” is unknown. The rollout of the new Portal allows us to
clean this up.Thus, in the coming months, ARDC will update our policy around top-level
subdomain requests using ampr.org. Subdomains using the format of callsign.ampr.org will
be automatically approved; all others will be reviewed by our team. Once approved, you may
create lower-level subdomains (e.g., foo.callsign.ampr.org) without further
approval.Administrative access to this non-callsign subdomain is being temporarily
approved while this policy is being developed. Thus, please consider access to this
subdomain as temporary.Once an official policy is in place, we will have a transition
period before the official deprecation of subdomains such as this one. Please direct any
questions to newportal(a)ampr.org. —8< snip >8—I hope this clears things up.73,ChrisI
have some other things to discuss, like the server in the UK that till has high latency
for users on other continents, etc. - I'll message you.-
