Dear NIshal,
Thanks for your help once again.
You are right, we will need to get the ball rolling and ensure that the MIXP runs for the benefit of the community.

i should probably mention that no decisions about anything other than some back-end tech stuff, has happened. it’s always great willing to have people that are interested in hosting the IX; that’s why it’s important that you form a community-appointed, volunteer, management committee that can start to make these decisions for your community.
might i suggest that you do the following: # call a general meeting of connected networks / peers # put up names for a committee that has no fewer than 3, and no more than 7 volunteers # have the peers vote for whom they feel is appropriate to make decisions on their behalf # commit to doing this once a year (at least)
then, once you have your management committee, have this committee: # ratify an open and neutral hosting document that *anyone* can use to host an extension of the IX # then, and only then, progress with any extensions
right now, you are stuck in limbo; there are, for example, three :-) networks that have expressed an interest in hosting extensions of the IX. and that’s *really* fantastic! but, until you have a neutral and community-elected set of volunteers, who you have empowered to act on your behalf, you are *not* going to make any progress. which, for those that have been paying attention, is the current problem with the MIXP..
there have been two suggestions for this committee that were posted here so far: # ranveer seetaloo (self-volunteer) # eric roos (who was volunteered, and must be contacted to confirm his willingness)
anyone else willing to: # get onto a conference call once a month for 1hr # commit some additional time and effort to reading proposals; writing documents, and working in the best interests of the community?
the internet will continue to run if you continue to do nothing. you will just end up contributing more and more to the french and south african internet economies, vs. your own.
