This is a note I received on Oct18 when checking on a peering request submitted on Aug7.. 

“Apologies for the delays here. We have temporarily frozen IX peering as we revise some of our automation processes. I’m hopeful this will be unblocked by early November. Thank you for your continued patience.”

It seems wasteful for Amazon to connect to an IX but then ignore peering requests for a year.

They have 40G of connectivity but are unresponsive. I'll try emailing all the other contacts listed in peeringdb.

Thanks

I've e-mailed my contacts there a couple times on people's behalf. No response yet.

It seems like a lot of organizations need 1 more person in their peering departments.

Hey all,

Does anyone have a direct contact to get a peering session established with Amazon at an IX? I sent a peering request Dec 2017 and two more times this Sept and Nov with no response.

I sent to peering@amazon.com and received one automated response back so I know they received my email but nothing since.
