I was a TAC committee member (I resigned in disgust just 15 min ago), and the board has failed to inform anyone this was happening. I discussed this prior as we could lease it, do something with it, make some money from it, and was 100% shot down. This has always been Brian Kantor's private little thing ever since he took over administration of it. This take over was before ARDC existed, and ARDC was never structured to be a proper community focused organization. I'd addressed this at TAPR meetings and NANOG with Brian and KC before. This also over looked the huge conflict of interest in KC being a board member of ARDC and Network Telescope getting a feed of 44/8 direct at no cost. This 44/8 announcement and UCSD routing broke connectivity to directly connected BGP subnets for years. My concern as an ARDC supporter an member is now no planning in the community for this, many people assume 44/8 is going to be licensed amateurs (I have many firewalls with permit 44/8 in them), and no accountability of what ARDC is doing. I believe with Brian retiring from UCSD he's looking for a job and being a board member of a well funded 501(c)3 can be a lucrative job. Also it's 100% broken reverse DNS for all of 44/8. :golf clap: This was theft from the community it was meant to serve. -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Former ARDC TAC member 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)mailman.ampr.org https://mailman.ampr.org/mailman/listinfo/44net
