2. Update from Internet2
Chris Robb mentioned that November has been a quiet month with the change freeze for SC09 and Thanksgiving. The MX swap in Houston will occur in December. The new LA suite is behind schedule so the MX install for that location will be delayed until early January and will occur at the new colo location. In 2010, MX swaps will occur in Salt Lake City, Kansas City and Seattle.

Paul Schopis mentioned that the NTAC chair will have a standing invitation to be a guest at all AOAC calls and meetings.

Paul also mentioned that the AOAC had discussed the new connector pricing options and had heard a report from Jeff Bartig on the CPS/TR consolidation.
4. Update from Peering Working Group
Jeff Bartig indicated that there is a desire to provide information on the CPS/TR consolidation agreement to the wider community in the next few weeks.

The Internet2 community is investigating this model and there will be additional discussion at the upcoming Joint Techs.
