The grant date was 2018-02-21.

So both of the above statements can be true at the same time since I have 
no idea when KC joined the ARDC board. When was that?

Also, reading: http://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/ARDC

"It solely manages and allocates Internet address space, subnets of 
network 44 (AMPRNet), to interested Amateur Radio operators."

Seems ARDC does more than this nowadays.
