[Bp_ixps] ITU Workshop on IXPs and ITU Council Working Group - IXP Discussion

[Gael Hernandez]

Hi Bijal and group,

Yes, I attended the session on inter-sessional work during the MAG meeting
last week in Paris. I had the opportunity to give an update on the progress
of the group. You can find the transcript in
http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/preparatory-process-2015/registration-september-2015/paris-igf-open-consultations-3-sep-2015
(look for Gael with Ctrl-F, unless you want to know more about the other
best practice forums).

In a nutshell, attendees were quite happy to hear from the group's progress
and our ability to have something (a document) ready to discuss in the BPF
session at the IGF meeting in Joao Pessoa.

The intervention triggered several remarks, all of them interesting but I'm
summarising the ones that I know we are already planning to cover in some
way or another:

Mark Carvell from the UK government requested that the document addresses
government approaches to policy and regulatory issues, particularly in
regards of establishing the right environment. I think we're good on that
item.

Michael Nelson from Cloudflare insisted in providing concrete data and
examples on competitive and less competitive environment (he pointed to
CloudFlare's CEO blog post discussing the specific situation in Australia
already acknowledged in the document).

There was a suggestion by Marilyn Cade on capturing the dynamics and impact
on costs when there are multiple IXP choices in a country, as opposed to
having only one. In my opinion, we should be able to point at the
conclusions made in reports already published (for instance, the ISOC study
on Nigeria and Kenya) even if there are not focussing on the
unique/multiple aspect that she mentioned.

Hope that helps the group to follow on the process.

We will discuss more tomorrow.

Best,
Gael
