This is the problem of a many respondent ticket system. If you had one coordinator responsible for your area, then you would not have to ask as they would do it all. On 4/27/2024 11:42 AM, razvan--- via 44net wrote:

No, you are not wrong. In the past, if a user in the areas that I handled asked for normal subnets and also a BGP, I would have spoken with the requestor and handled the normal subnets while forwarding on the BGP request. Both I and the requestor would know what was going on. This ticketing system is up in the air, with multiple respondents that are not the coordinators for a particular area and everyone is left guessing, as you are now.

Since it's a "big" subnet and on the portal it displays that is under User - AMPRNet - AMPRNET, I guess that only ARDC Administration is able to process the request. Am I wrong?

This seems to be an indication of the ARDC thought process going forward. State/regional coordinators might start thinking that their days are numbered and we will all be tossed into one big mosh pit. If certain projects like Hamnet, HamWan and others are left alone to continue and add new members, while others are told to bugger off and just deal with the new regime, then this is NOT the AMPR that Brian Kantor and others envisioned. "My ticket #xxxx was assigned to Chris Smith who indicated they are moving away from the regional allocations and closed my ticket. He didn’t say anything but I did find in My Networks that he assigned 44.61.y.zzz/29 block to me. No other information." On 4/27/2024 12:13 PM, Razvan wrote:

Understood, yeah, I got it now. I know we have a local coordinator here in YO, but he's only able to handle the requests for 44.182.0.0/16, the subnet which was allocated for YO, but those requests cannot be processed as BGP. If they could have been, the whole process would have been flawless. Thank you Charles for the confirmation. I do not want to upset anybody or to keep on pushing, I know that Chris has a lot on his plate right now, I just wanted to know what's happening and why some tickets were responded and resolved in max 3 days since they have been opened (in the same period as the IP Request ticket), and an IP subnet request it's still without resolution after 10 days. I've emailed Chris directly, off-list about this, but I'm thinking that maybe at some point I've upset him and that's why I did not hear back about my status update. HI!. Allrighty, thanks again.
