[apnic-talk]Yesterday's IX SIG meeting

[Philip Smith <pfs@cisco.com>]

Hi,

Yesterday's IX SIG meeting was very successful with very interesting and 
informative presentations from NPIX (Nepal), SOX (Singapore), MIX 
(Mongolia), JPNAP (Japan), EuroIX (Association of European Internet 
Exchanges), and Equinix.

I would like to thank all the speakers for presenting at the SIG. All the 
presentations will be found on the APNIC website at 
http://www.apnic.net/meetings/15/sigs/ix/index.html.

We also discussed the IX SIG Charter. The charter I proposed to the 
meeting, based on what was listed as the interim Charter on the SIG Website 
is this:

"The IX SIG provides a forum for sharing information about the status and
activities of Internet eXchange (IX) points in the Asia Pacific region."

Please send your comments either directly to me, or the list, on whether 
you consider this an appropriate charter, or otherwise. If there are no 
comments by the 14th of March, I'll assume that the above charter is 
appropriate for this SIG and recommend it to APNIC.

Finally, following on from the call I issued on the 26th of November 2002, 
we discussed the appointment of a co-chair for this SIG. There was one 
volunteer present at the meeting, Che-Hoo Cheng. I proposed that Che-Hoo 
become the co-chair for the IX-SIG, to which the meeting agreed. If there 
are any comments about this proposed appointment, please let me know before 
the 14th of March. As a reminder, the responsibilities of a SIG chair are 
documented at http://www.apnic.net/meetings/archive/sigs/sig-chair-guide.pdf.

Thank you again to all the participants at the IX SIG, hope to see you at 
the next APNIC meeting.
