We will be running peering introductions during AfPIF, and we would like to request to send for each Network / IXP / ASN a single slide about your name / AS / presence/locations / contacts, to make a short not more than 1 minute introduction about their network, so that others can see the face to search for and meet later. Please send this to peer(a)afpif.org The first peering personals session *might* be 12:15 tomorrow (Tuesday), if preceding sessions allows for it; otherwise the first will be 15:15. Thanks, Frank

by Jason LEONG SON

Hello everyone, Hope that you are all doing well. Thanks for the Peering Roadshow held beginning of July, which has been very beneficial for everyone. · Thanks Keessun and Nishal for the slides/presentations and Telegram Group created As per meetings held with all parties since a few months ago, we have seen the following (To be discussed by the Steering Committee): · MIXP Hosting o We had the same idea as Rogers Capital to extend/move the MIXP from GOC to our Datacentre o Advantages being § 24/7 access by the community, as there will always be someone present on the spot § Majority(If not all) operators are already connected to our DataCentre · Kaldera will facilitate internal wiring for all parties not yet connected at cost price § Kaldera is OK to freely provide Rack Hosting · We have 3 different areas available in Cybertower 1/SABV Tower to move/extend the current location of the MIXP § Kaldera is also ok to freely provide equipments if needed § BICS may facilitate/help regarding International Connectivity as their POP is already in Kaldera’s DataCentre o As seen with Ranveer, we may have the extension on both Rogers/Kaldera DataCentre to provide redundancy § It would be great to have this finalized before AFPIF event · Steering Committee o Since a few months ago, Kaldera already met individually MIXP members and they did not have any objection for Kaldera to take the lead on the MIXP to make things move § Florian of Kaldera would be happy to take the Presidency of the MIXP if voted by the community (Should the community decide to go forward with creating an association) · As said on the Peering Roadshow, it’s the community who needs to decide together what is best for the MIXP · We really want to make things move fast, and shall make a very close follow up § So it would be great to be able to have a vote regarding all actions to be performed for the MIXP (Current location, future location, hosting, equipments, etc…) § We are very happy to help creating regular meetings (Similar to the Durban IXP presented by PCH) · UOM and GOC were happy to share with me that the meetings would be better if done during Business Hour instead of after Office Hours, because of the Mauritian reality (Family/Children) o I saw a note during the MIXP discussions that we want the MIXP to be as open as possible: § ---- § i think this is a great idea; two small suggestions: § # the steering committee needs some guide of terms of references. i’m happy to provide the ToR that the INX management committee uses as a guideline, or, a more generic governance document that PCH provides as a base for you to start your own. § # the committee needs to be replaced every N number of years; i suggest something as simple as having a committee that is no fewer than three, and no more than seven, and renewing candidates every two years. again, i’m happy to explain in detail what we do at INX; and what we suggest as PCH. it’s really not rocket science .. § § in the interests of being most useful to MU, i’d suggest that: § # direct stakeholders (peers) be permitted to vote, only § # you allow your steering/management committee to be as open as possible; if there is an IX expert in japan that wants to be involved, and is willing to commit the time, then, so be it. provided, of course, the peers vote for this person. § § i suggest you get this done quickly; there are a few decisions that you need to make, and it’s best to have general community consensus when doing these. § ------ o We would therefore highly recommend Eric LOOS who is willing to help us as he is already involved in AMS-IX and Peering DB, and started an exchange STHIX in Stockholm § He was already invited last year to help making progress on the MIXP § He may perform live sessions/Video Conf on any Topic requested by the MIXP Community https://www.ams-ix.net/ams/team [cid:image004.jpg@01D54208.856BBE20] https://docs.peeringdb.com/presentation/20190527-NONOG3-Arnold-Nipper.pdf [cid:image006.png@01D54207.8153E160] o https://www.sthix.net/ [cid:image011.jpg@01D54244.9D240310] o https://www.facebook.com/pg/STHIX/about/ [cid:image014.jpg@01D54244.9D240310] o https://blog.apnic.net/2017/03/29/collaborate-listen-peeringdb/ · Pre-Event Workshop o BICS in collaboration with Kaldera is happy to host a Workshop one day before AFPIF and to have all the MIXP community present (19 August at Angsana from 14.00 to 17.30) § See attached invitation “WorkshopInvitationAfPIF2019.pdf” § It would be great to have 2 persons from each organization(1 Management/1 Technical) § Can all those interested please respond back as soon as possible to confirm with Venue expected amount of places? · You may send a mail to myself, Cc: bics-events(a)bics.com<mailto:bics-events@bics.com> Should you need further information, don't hesitate to contact me.
