Re: [nznog] Citylink IX communication

How does not opting in to this change negatively affect anyone but the people who choose to abstain? (And their customers). The free market will surely sort this one out. I'm assuming that NZIX's standard deployment will be from now on sans-ix-asn-injection so standard attrition will eventually get us to a semi-consistent state and as to the outliers... my first point applies.

So let’s make up a date and push people towards it. No reason we can’t get to a consistent state, right? The Citylink IXes started life as community IXes, no reason we can’t make them community IXes again. How about your birthday next year?

Perhaps we could talk about ways to track who is opting-in and who isn’t, do you have thoughts on how to achieve that? I’m not sure I can think of anything technically. Does Citylink intend to publish this information? Perhaps we can encourage people to post on the NZNOG list when they change their “mode”?

With that information, you could channel your energies in to an email to a handful of operators every couple of months. That would be totally reasonable to copy to the list.

Having said that, fair point on RFC2119 sir :)

Others who thought of it first know who they are :)
