From: Avi Freedman <freedman@netaxs.com> Of course, I argues vehemently against the $10k/year CIX "tax", and this would be a "tax" of sorts.
Perhaps there's a better forum than the nanog list for discussion of this - perhaps a BOF at the next NANOG meeting would be better.
Sorry, Avi, but I disagree. This is about group operations, and this _is_ the operations group! At least the discussion need to start and end here, so that everyone knowns what is going on. Although, technical details discussion could be a new separate list. Anyway, I'd be very happy if Daniel could help us figure out a way to be self-sustaining. If the CIX wanted to offer a RIPE-style of services, I'd be interested in participating! I think that the CIX bylaws and member agreement would need a few changes, but other than that, it seems positioned to take the role.
