This might be hard for IPRAs IMO. How about an IXP which has a commercial (non-association) constitution but no intention to profit from members ? How about an IXP which is a free product of a commercial company, that will charge no fees ? How about an IXP with an non-profit constitution, and association, that does in fact make a large constitution and possibly is permitted to redistribute it ? Euro-IX identified 127 IXPs in Europe. I think we could count up about 150 different constitutions in those 127 if we looked hard enough and solicited enough opinions. ;-) I think that even a commercial IXP has the power to be 'good of the internet', even though my personal opinion strongly favours community owned and run initiatives. I think we may see more commercial IXPs in the future in regions where the fledgling community can not bear the risk. Many thanks for writing with an opinion. Andy
