Input from the IXP folks is more than welcome, of course. You help us define "what is an IXP?", we make a policy that works for you... :-)
I am in favour of light touch policy - let each ixp have some simple/relevant rules on connection (which will always have to be specific to their own market, region, culture), write the rules down, and follow them. If you have a policy which is enforced equally, then for the purpose of this policy, it is 'open' - because the ixp is open about the policy. In terms of the policy, my current preference is 'there must be a clear and documented policy'. My second preference is the wording suggested by Emilio. My last preference is the current wording. -- Best wishes Andy Davidson eix-wg co-chair, personal capacity.
