Dear all,

To respond to last few lines of the previous contribution below, as the acting coordinator of the Swedish subnet 44.140/16, appointed by the previous coordinator that is listed in the coordinator list but has left the area to pursue other goals, I am working with colleagues in different part of Sweden to reclaim the address space to its original purposes and discuss with our national radio amateur association ssa.se about how to organise a sustainable management of the resource and to accept a delegation from the root if there is one offered.

As an academic I see the potential in the common resource for research and education and I am discussing with our academic partners partners in other countries, some of them in developing countries on other continents than mine, to use these resources for public good purposes.

There is clearly an interest to revive and vitalize the area everywhere, but it would help if this list could to agree on a more explicit declaration on where we are heading and how national bodies, organisations and individuals can best contribute to progress towards those goals. Or is this a hen and an egg problem?

Everyone I have been talking to supports the idea to establish a global independent radio amateur network by applying for an AS number and eventually maybe even some ipv6 address space, but I am sure that such applications have to come from the registered owners of the 44/8 resource and be accompanied by declarations of acceptable use policies, ethics, delegation agreements including requirements for enforcement of rules and sanctions for non-compliants. I am a rookie in this community so I do not know the decision procedures.

All,

Many have posted good responses on what would be needed to continue this project. I don't want to repeat any good suggestions (which I am also re-reading); but wanted to add a few; as I originally requested a subnet for the purpose of peering with Amateur Digital Radio Communications, or up to consideration of a Layer 1 connections to PoPs (I am working on such arraignments for our area using multi-homed non-commercial means).

I have polished up on my BGP routing concepts and found these things:

• in the MDC section, we would be seeking local peers via other

non-commercial backbones

• Doing BGP, the assumption we were to arrange at least layer 1

connectivity (via wireless and/or terrestrial [our area is fiber or greater to peer] which we're working on), at least back to Brian, this will require an AS Number

• the concern in my area, want to pursue non-commercial means of

announcement, redundancy to the non-commercial/commercial backbone, etc, in case the commercial network went down

• Internet2.edu is being built out from stimulus funds, it is

primarily non-commercial - just a thought, and a path we're looking into

• I am willing to assist in this endeavor, and would like to sit-in on

a conference call, if convened

• There are other networks I'm sure are willing to carry a VLANs over

their fiber

• BGP to a PoP for most who wishes to peer with us would require us to

really lobby our CFR Title 47 §97.1(a), that we have other Peers willing to provide Layer 1 Transport (working on this) - I see no need for us to work seperately, and wanted to mention this

Anyone interested in being homed with another Autonomous System, please consider working with together on a National Amateur Wireless Society, if we receive International Interest, we may have to see other regional interest. Also, would a regional authority be willing to donate us an AS number (made requests)?

~73,
