[connect-wg] IXP Best Practice Forum

Dear colleagues,

Building on last year's IGF Best Practice Forum (BPF) on enabling
environments for establishing successful IXPs
<http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/best-practice-forums/creating-an-enabling-environment-for-the-development-of-local-content/582-igf-2015-bpf-ixps/file>,
this
year's IXP BPF aims to identify success stories and list factors that can
contribute to the development and success of IXPs as well as the broader
Internet ecosystem. I am reaching out to the RIPE community in particular
due to many of the efforts by both the community as well as RIPE NCC
in promoting
IXPs and interconnection in general
<http://www.itu.int/en/Lists/consultation2015/Attachments/36/RIPE-NCC-IXP-ITU-Aug2015.pdf>
.

The IXP BPF is a consensus-driven, bottom-up, and inclusive collaborative
effort, one that brings together professional expertise from across
stakeholder groups in order to generate a practical, constructive, and
relevant outcome document.

We are currently soliciting feedback and brainstorming ideas, especially
related to the scope and goals of this year's IXP BPF, and invite you to
contribute:

.

If you are not already involved, I encourage you to add suggestions to the
document, share it among your networks, and contact Wim Degezelle, the IXP
BPF project manager, or Sala Tamanikaiwaimaro, one of our IGF
Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) coordinators, for more information or
if you have any questions. Additionally, you can sign up for the mailing
list at:

Kind regards,
-Michael
