RIPE 36 - Action Points

[Fearghas McKay <]

Greetings!

Following the very full meeting this morning we have some suggestions for
the RIPE Activity plan for 2001.

	1	Assigned IP Address block for IXPs

	2	RIPE db Object for IXPs

	3	Formal space in the RIPE db for Peering contacts

	4	Best Current Practice for IXPs - document to be coordinated
by Nic Lewis from LINX - nic@localhost

	5	Repository for tools used by IXPs - ie traffic/port
monitoring, fault/support tracking, accounting, etc.

If you have any other ideas that you think should be suggested to the NCC -
or I have misrepresented something, please follow up to this mail.

The reference for the current RIPE activity plan is:

Visit the local IX

There is an opportunity to visit the BIX - Budapest IX. If there is
interest please find me at the meeting or send me mail and we will try
organise something. The site is fairly local.

Balazs Martis - the BIX chairman was unable to attend the meeting due to a
timetable clash but has offered the tour.

EIX-OPS mailing list

If you have previously presented to the WG and wish to join this closed
list for IXP operators please send me mail off list.

Presenting at RIPE 37

Please come and present at the next meeting - we all can learn from each
other, every IXP is different and the group benefits from your input, no
matter how large or small you are.

If you are a member if an IX please encourage them to present at a future
E-IX meeting.

The next meeting will be in Amsterdam - September 11-15 2000.

Switching Wishlists for vendors

Mike Hughes presented very briefly on the opportunity to present wish lists
to vendors. Since the meeting I have had one vendor representative say that
they are keen to have this dialogue with IXs.

Mike has posted to the list and hopefully will follow up with a url to his
presentation once it has been HTML'ised.

Thanks to Henk from NCC for acting as scribe through two full sessions.

Meeting minutes to follow.

See you at a social event or RIPE 37:-)

Cheers
