Who thinks it would be a good idea to create a new mailling list specificially for updates of domestic peering policy and some bgp discussion that might be a little off-topic for this list?
I'd encourage those of you who are interested in this topic to read RFC 2650 (ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2650.txt) and start working to using RPSL for this task. It seems really strange to have filter lists (in proprietary format) flying around to achieve this. Registering your routes in the IRR (www.irr.net) and then using a mailing list to say "we've changed our details, see the registry" looks like the way to go. APNIC have a pilot service running which ISPs from this region can use.
Every ISP seems to be running it's own distribution list for sending out filter list updates, and some of you might have noticed the Xtra list being hijacked for discussion the other day (snicker).
Also, I don't mind hosting the list.
I think a list is a good idea but let's not try to invent a wheel that already exists. andy - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
