  • Would like to purchase event materials like a new banner that we can display at events. Accent and Bresco is having an event and would let us advertise at no charge.

 CTO

  • IXP manager has been moved on site. It has been integrated with S Flow from the switches
  • Have done back-ups for VM’s
  • Had issues with the switches acting as hubs, updated the firmware and rebooted
  • Arista is involved in IX provided hardware at no charge. We submitted a request.  This would provide routing options to host cache.  We may do our own routing
  • The HE router has a small issue but it is now fixed
  • Vision CTS is now peering
  • Next month – working on Looking Glass and Internal DNS

 Old / New Business

  • Tabled CTO discussion revisited – We discussed the CTO position (Marijan was not at the last meeting so tabled to this meeting). Initial discussions were Marijan and Adam were both interested in this position.  Adam withdrew his name from the table and Marijan was voted in to continue doing the CTO role.  Adam will be the back-up for the CTO if needed and will also chair the technical committee.
  • Past due memberships
  • Discussed allowing Associate members to speak at our board meetings to give them more exposure and provide a value to their membership. We also said senior members could do this as well.   Also discussed virtual happy hours to allow members to connect other than the annual meeting.  These items will be discussed at the new marketing committee meeting.

We will have the next meeting on Thursday, November12th at 9:30.  Conference Bridge will be sent.

Respectfully submitted,

Nancy Tiemeier
