Hello Scott,

In short, certification and using the HamWAN name revolve around being compatible from a client perspective. The same channel plan, and the same protocols means that a client from any HamWAN compatible network can travel to any other, and should expect it to work without having to reconfigure. How the rest of the network is constructed isn’t required to be the same, and can be done however makes sense for your uses.

We’re on chat a lot in the #hamwan channel on freenode. http://webchat.freenode.net/?nick=HamWAN..&channels=%23HamWAN

If you have more specific questions about aspects, or chat in general, I’d encourage you to join us there, and we’d be happy to chat with you.

Hello,
 
I am the president of the Hoodview Amateur Radio Club (HARC) in Gresham, Oregon.  Our club is looking at leading an effort to setup HamWAN in this area.  I would like to get more information about the technology and certification process.
