There is one problem: The article is factually incorrect on multiple points. So comparing A to B when B is a fairy tale does not make much sense. The proposed constitutional changes are in the public domain. -- TTFN, patrick P.S. Full disclosure, I am a LINX director. So maybe I’m saying this to protect myself. If only you could read the proposed changes and decide for yourself. Oh, wait….

Just meant it as a parallel operational example. Both situations, while legally distinct, present the same operational issues.
Purposely breaking things - and then being required to keep the breakage secret - is going to mess up a whole lot of things. (How does Chinese operators handle this?)
Additionally the snooping is an issue, though I can't imagine anyone depends on an IX for maintaining secrecy at a contract level :/ Today's realities.

And when you go to figure out why that IP wont ping through Cogent on your exchange, and start troubleshooting but can't get any answers as to why things are bust...
[ Clearly now an operational issue for NANOG. ]
Purposely breaking routing and not being able to talk about why is going to set many orgs at odds with their basic operational charters. I expect that a paid service will work when it's provided, including help debugging their end.
This is slightly different from a service provider, ostensibly you can go elsewhere to get service - but when you are a member of a nonprofit *IX (as we are with TorIX), things get a lot more complex.
I imagine contract lawyers are going to be all over this.
