Good evening dear OMs,
I'm really new to this Mailing-List. I have been reading through the
information available online but I have a few remaining questions:
- - Can there be more than 1 coordinator for one single area (e.g. 2 OMs
handling a country conjointly)?
- - Do the former tunnels still exist for delegations which haven't been
moved/migrated to the new portal? (Or are they offline from the
Internet side of things?)
- - The new system/portal seems to favor a mesh network of tunnels, are
intra-country tunnels (no directly connected to the AMPR gateway but
connected via a local gateway (which in turn is connected to the AMPR
gateway)) depreciated or unrecommended?
- - When I checked a few years ago, very very few networks within
44.0.0.0/8 were announced in the DFZ (like 1 or 2), this seems to have
increased. Is it recommended today to announce a delegation or parts
of it directly?
I'm sorry if these questions have been answered before, I really tried
finding them, but I might have searched using the wrong terms/words.

There can be. Usually they agree to split things up geographically or
in some other logical manner.
I prefer people to work together so that there is no ambiguity as to
who to contact for help or allocation services.

The portal does not list delegations for areas that do not have a
coordinator as there is no obvious person to contact for allocation
services. Generally I handle requests from those areas.
Tunnel gateways may exist for areas which currently don't have a coordinator.

Tunnels do not have to connect to the AMPR gateway. People are free
to set them up this way if they wish. Sweden plans to provide
tunnel facilities from its own gateway system, for example.

Direct BGP announcements of CIDR blocks are permitted with special
permission. Generally, these are for technically sophisticated projects.
There are currently a few blocks being announced this way. There are
over two hundred tunnel gateways listed. People may find it easier to
set up a tunnel gateway with their smaller networking facilities.

I have raised this question as the board of the LX Amateur Society
will discuss the different manager positions and there seems to be a
tendency to make a working group of several people responsible to
share the work load and combine the knowledge/experience.

In LX we have been discussing a similar approach in order to keep
traffic local and reduce latency while providing 2 or more highly
available AMPR gateway towards the other 44nets.
