Hello Everyone,
It was very sad news hear to about Brian Kantor passing as he was my AMPR Coordinator mentor and I imagine *the* mentor for many of us. As we need to push on with out him, it's unclear on what is the chain of succession for everything that Brian did. I ask this as I have a new interested member looking for a BGP allocation and this process was always processed through Brian to deal with the vetting process, processing the AMPR Letter of Authority, etc. Can someone from the ARDC, etc. tell me who to contact if I have questions, next steps once I get all the required details, etc?

Good Morning David,
I recently wondered how we would move forward without Brian. I had exchanged a few email with Ken (KD60AT) to offer to volunteer in any way I could to help the community move forward.
I'm sure there have been many volunteers offering to step in, please let me know I can help.

Hi David. All of us on the ARDC board were shocked and saddened by Brian's utterly unexpected, sudden passing.
We had already begun processes to try and relieve Brian of some of the burden he accumulated over the years, which included technical, legal, financial, and administrative roles on behalf of 44net and ARDC. Unfortunately, most of those efforts were still in formative stages. He and I were in the midst of processing some paperwork associated with my expanding role as Treasurer at the time he passed, as one small example.
So .. your question is one of several that we're trying to develop appropriate answers for in parallel, despite our collective deep emotional distress. I don't like the fact that I can't give you a crisp answer to your question(s) today, but the ARDC board is meeting weekly as a group and chasing down items individually in parallel until we can get through the various succession issues.
Please give us a little time. I know "we're working on it" isn't a very satisfying state of affairs, but it's the truth. I'll make sure announcements are made as soon as there are useful answers to share.

Bdale,
I think I can hopefully say for all of us that your response is very much appreciated and we are all sending our respects.
Hope everything goes well and everything goes smoothly.
