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.
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.
