From the PDF:
"We propose a mailing list for exchange participants only for communication including bilateral peering requests"
You wouldn't normally ask for bilateral peering on an email list?
You might signal your intention to others there.
I can see you might ask who to ask for those networks who aren't clueful enough to be in peeringdb.com (*hint*) but I've never asked for bilateral peering on a mailing list (only have experience of 23 peering points on 5 continents though).
You're pretty new to NZ though. We've got a very rich history of lots of local peering and are very much open about it, so someone sending a message saying "Hey anyone want to set up some private peering sessions" isn't at all weird to me. We (as a country, historically) don't really put much effort in to figuring out if someone has lots of prefixes or whatever, if they're there and willing, we peer. As for the value of private peering, that's up to individuals orgs to decide. Personally I believe IX RSs peering is just fine. -- Nathan Ward
