The admin committee understands that there are many unanswered questions regarding the events surrounding the outage of 29 December and the subsequent migration to the PTTLink Network, which was officially formed on 30 December 2020.  In an act of good faith and to assuage any concerns users may have regarding their data, the PTTLink team commits to the following:

<blockquote>All users who were registered with the AllStarLink system have the opportunity to OPT IN to remain registered with the PTTLink network.  Users only need to point their nodes at the PTTLink registration server before 3 February 2021 to have their user and associated node data retained.  This applies to all nodes that a user may have.  On 3 February 2021, any nodes which have not been registered with PTTLink after 2 January 2021 will be removed.  Any user accounts that no longer have nodes associated with them as a result of this removal will also be removed from the PTTLink user database.</blockquote><blockquote>Users can accomplish this by adding to the /etc/asterisk/iax.conf file an additional registration line, duplicating their existing AllStarLink node number and password and changing the registration server from register.allstarlink.org to register.pttlink.org similar to the following:</blockquote><blockquote>register=<node number>:<password>@register.pttlink.org</blockquote><blockquote>Any registered user who does not wish to wait until 3 February to have their registration information removed from the PTTLink database can submit a written request (from the registered email account on file) with the subject line of “Request to remove my user and node data from PTTLink” which also contains within the body your callsign and a statement from you requesting to have your user data removed.  Send this email request to [[Mailto:helpdesk@pttlink.org|helpdesk@pttlink.org]].   You will receive an automatic reply with a ticket number assigned to your request.  Your request will be processed within 7 days upon receipt and you will receive confirmation back that your account and data have been removed (if the requirements of this request are met).  This is limited to one email per user and one callsign/user account only.  Emails with requests for removal of multiple user accounts/callsigns (bulk requests) will be rejected without further action taken and will require resubmission as individual requests.  Requests to remove data that do not match the email account on file will also be rejected without further action taken.</blockquote><blockquote>Additionally, no node number assigned as of 3 February, will be reassigned in the PTTLink network for the period of 1 year, such that should someone wish to acquire their original AllStarLink node number after the removals, they can.</blockquote>PTTLink’s Pledge to the Community
