Hail NANOGers! If you operate an IX in North America, this message is for you. (I'm passing it along on behalf of my former colleagues at the Internet Society.) Hope to "see" you on the webinar this Tuesday! ——— Hi, The MANRS IXP Partnership program is designed to invite and encourage participation of IXPs in MANRS (Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security). In accordance with the principles of the initiative, the membership depends on the visible commitment to improve the routing security of the peering fabric and Internet infrastructure in general and demonstrated by the implementation of defined Actions. The Internet Society is looking for leading IXPs around the world that have a track record in contributing to routing security, already implement the majority of Actions and are willing to participate in the launch of this program, planned in early 2018. The set of Actions was developed by the development team consisting of IXP representatives around the world. It has been reviewed in by various IXP communities, such as EURO-IX, LAC-IX, Af-IX. I’d like to invite you to participate in a webinar on March 13 at 14:00 EDT (18:00 UTC) where we present the IXP Partnership Program and the Actions to the North-American IXP community and invite your feedback. Call details are below. We would also ask you to disseminate the information about the webinar to the NA IX community. MANRS (https://www.manrs.org) is a collaborative initiative, coordinated by the Internet Society. It was launched in November 2014 and has received much encouragement from all sections of the Internet industry. The key objective of MANRS is to gain industry-wide agreement on a minimum set of practices for secure routing across the Internet, through coordinated action by many parties. MANRS was designed for network operators, but other parties can play an important role in facilitating improvements in routing security such as Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). Many of them represent active communities with common operational objectives and already contribute to a more resilient and secure Internet infrastructure. Thanks!
