As this is just a hobby project for me, it's difficult to justify the costs of a commercial registry. Might it be possible for AMPRNet users to use ARDC's ARIN accounts to list some "inetnum" IRR data for our prefixes? Depending on the outcome, maybe this would be some useful information to list on the FAQ in the Wiki.
