Roll call and Approval of Agenda – Completed

Secretary Report – Minutes Approved.

Membership – An application was received Rack Squared for Senior Membership.  This was voted on and approved.  Kim will send out an invoice.  No Associate Memberships at this time.

Treasurer’s Report

CTO – No traffic from Huntington yet.  Marijan will reach out if no traffic soon.  We had to renew our domains and completed it for multiple years.  Marijan will set up a link in Google Docs to track who we want to go after (who would like to peer with).

We currently have an aggregate usage on the exchange at 300Mg and have spiked as high as 600 Mg.

We discussed putting together a best practice document.  We should have something to refer to.  Marijan will put something together and work with Brent and Luke to review.  We will check with what AMS uses.

Marketing Committee

Governance – No report

Director Agreements and Conflict of Interest – Nancy is still waiting on Tim to review the existing documents and determine if any changes need to be make.  Tim will work on this for next meeting.

Old / New Business –  

Remote Switch Operator Addendum – We discussed how MICE goes through a process to approve remote switch operators.  To be a remote switch operator, you must be a senior member.  We need to clarify that operators are not making money off of the IX.  Tim will get the committee together for a final review of the contract so we can move forward.

High value targets – discussed what accounts we want to go after.  We talked about how we could connect with Megaport.  We will work on a survey to send to members as to what high level targets would benefit them.

Next meeting – November 9th – 9:30 at NetGain 8235 Estates Pkwy, Plain City

Meeting Adjourned.

September 7, 2018 Ohio IX Meeting

Attendees:  Doug Payauys, Nancy Tiemeier, Brent Beatty, Luke Skidmore, , Kim Gerhart, Greg Miller, Brian Riley, Phil Maag, Paul Schopis, Marijan Adam

Roll call and Approval of Agenda – Completed

Secretary Report – Minutes Approved.

Membership – An application was received for Washington Electric for Associate Membership.  This was voted on and approved.  Kim will send out an invoice.  No Senior Memberships at this time.

Treasurer’s Report

CTO – Huntington turned up the port and need to start peering, which should be soon.  Cologix may not need the copper connection to the IX anymore as they are converting all their traffic to the new switches.  There isn’t anything new on the IPv6, Marijan needs to schedule some time with Brent to look at it further.

Marketing Committee – Kim fixed the auto response on the Associate Member online application.  We need some type of notice to go out to let them know they have been approved and will be getting an invoice.

Governance – No report

Director Agreements and Conflict of Interest – Nancy is still waiting on Tim to review the existing documents and determine if any changes need to be make.

Old / New Business –  

Remote Switch Operator Addendum – We discussed the remote switch agreement that Greg Dunn provided.  There are no rules/limitations noted in writing for approved traffic.  We need to make sure there is no conflict with this agreement.  We discussed what was needed to bring remote users online and what the timeline would be.  There is no cost from user to IX ($500 cost to the operator).  Brent suggested a connection fee and/or should give information on who is connecting.   We decided that everyone should look at the document and make comments to the Google Drive in the next week.  MICE’s site lists the remote switch operators and users.  We think we should do the same.

Establish 3 Person Working Group to finalize with Ice Miller – Brent Beatty, Marijan Adam and Tim Berelsman were chosen to be in this group.

Next meeting – October 12 – 9:30 at NetGain 8235 Estates Pkwy, Plain City

Meeting Adjourned.
