Hi Roland
A connect-bof exist in order to develop into an Internconnection Working Group as described here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/groups/bof/connect-bof
Thanks, I noticed the BOF [1] but hadn't realised it was already a WG (as Nick suggested). It's obviously much better for continuity that the new WG gets running in time for the next RIPE meeting.
I think it would be possible that we can find people both knowledgeable and willing to participate. I also think it important that this is a person who both the know the IX model, but also know the MPLS VPN Interconnections models and the Private Interconnections that networks are also engaging in. IX interconnection is an important but but not the only way that Networks connect.
It doesn't have to be just one person - but there are many knowledgeable people out there; although I'd also add experience of D.50 to the list of requirements. [1] Birds of a Feather, the RIPE jargon for an informal discussion group, for those suffering acronym overload. -- Roland Perry
