Re: [44net] Is AMPR still relatively active?

Nearly everyone new I have talked to about AMPR reports one of the two things: - "I requested a block and never heard back, so I thought the project was dead. How long does it normally take? It's been a month so far." - "I requested a /24 for my project linking nnn machines and only got a /30, so I've had to NAT RFC1918 space and don't really use the AMPR side for much." To me, these problems are unacceptable. There are so many subscribers here who would be willing to join the coordination team and are competent at assessing block size needs. We need to have multiple coordinators for each region, so that no coordinator is a single point of failure. I'd also like to see some metrics on time-to-allocation, and how often allocation sizes are different than request sizes (especially interesting would be comparing this to the utilization of the parent block--I have a hunch coordinators are being stingy with assignments when there's no need to be). Once we have some metrics we could set reasonable goals. Off the cuff, 48 hours to receive an allocation seems reasonable. I wonder what percent of allocations meet that goal currently. If the holdback is technical, I'd be willing to make the required portal modifications myself. Please send the source code so that I can get to work. Tom KD7LXL
