All
I am looking into booking Reynold's wife and children into short-term=20
lodging in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic or in a nearby island.=20
There has been some progress on an escort ground transport (to Santo=20
Domingo, D.R.), which will allow Reynold to stay on-site and maintain=20
a non-zero critical technical resource at the Boutilliers Data Center.
There are some signs of progress on the visa and/or parole paperwork=20
necessary to move Dominique, Nikki and Aurelia to Florida, where one=20
of Reynold's two (US nationals) sisters live. However, "soon" isn't a=20
term with a fixed date.
There has been fuel resupply, with sufficient fuel to run through the=20
weekend (sounds familiar, neh?).
With respect to the other core staffers at this facility:
St=E9phane Bruno, administrative contact for the .ht Country Code, has=20
left Haiti with his family. They are currently in Washington, D.C.
Max Larson Henry, technical contact for the .ht Country Code, has lost=20
one member of his immediate family, and has taken another member of=20
his immediate family to hospital. He is not available to assist in the=20
operation of the telecommunications and datacommunications=20
infrastructure at Boutillers.
Reginald Chauvet, the owner of the Data Center in Boutillers, in which=20
the .ht Country Code registry is a tenant, has left Haiti with his=20
family. They are currently in Maimi.
All the critical telecom infrastructures are located at the Data=20
Center in Boutillers, which contains the Internet Exchange Point, is=20
hosted in ths Data Center. There are technicians present in the=20
environment, for whom Mr. Guerrier has coordinated their shelter,=20
feeding and basic needs, but no other technical resources capable of=20
operating any of the NAP/IX/relay problems, as they arise.
The transport date isn't fixed, but I expect it will be within the=20
next 48 hours. The end-to-end, PaP-to-SD time is 5 hours, road and=20
boarder control included in the time budget. If Reynold has to provide=20
the escort himself he will be off-site for at least twice that period,=20
possibly as long as 48 hours, complications costed in. The nearby=20
island routing is via air, and preferable, but has a paperwork dependency=
=2E
As Rod Beckstrom will be doing a public availability in the early=20
evening of the 27th in Washington, D.C., and I've a real job to do=20
from time to time (for CORE), I plan to be in Washington on the 27th.=20
If anyone wants to meet at the Beckstrom event venue [1] or near by=20
drop me a line.
