Re: [address-policy-wg] IXP peering lan reachability

I'd politely suggest that this is an area that the RIPE NCC should not get involved in, especially from the point of view of implicitly issuing recommended practice by implying that there is a problem with doing this. The IXP associations are better placed to gather consensus for creating best practices, and there is no general consensus in the IXP community on this issue.

Full agreement with Nick, the (controlled) announcement or otherwise of an IXP prefix is not a registry policy issue. Cheers, Rob
