WG updates:
IPv6: The working group met at Joint Techs. The focus was on World IPv6 Launch scheduled for June 6. On that day organizations participating will turn on IPv6 and leave it on. See http://www.worldipv6day.org/ for more information. The group will be reviving the workshop calls. Bill Owens noted there was not much participation in the Launch by .edu sites as of yet.
Peering and routing WG: Migration has resumed now that the capacity issues have been addressed. Jeff Bartig will send out an note about outage messages. The V6 WG asked the group to suggest a policy about the v6 prefix lengths that are accepted in the R&E table. The interest in BGP communities for the R&E table continues. It was asked if we have the same tools for TR-CPS (SNAP etc) as we have for R&E. Generally the answer is yes we do, we have a snap view and are working to make it public.
Performance WG: They had a meeting at JT's. They definitely wish to keep the group active.
Internet2 Update:
Not all that much going on. SHI peering for Net+ is up in NY. They are starting to work with some participants. Started to migrate WIX to 100G. There was a hardware outage, it will get finished later. There is progress on LHCONE, though it is still being worked on.
AOAC:
The Architecture and Operations Advisory Council <http://www.internet2.edu/governance/advisorycouncils.html#AOAC> (AOAC) met on January 11. The Council welcomed Akbar Kara, new Chair of the Network Technical Advisory Council as a non-voting AOAC participant and liaison to NTAC. George Loftus, Chair of the AOAC, reported that the AOAC Fee Subcommittee met in December and discussed using a clean slate approach to network fees and creating a set of guiding principles as fees are considered. The Fee Subcommittee will meet again soon to continue the discussion. George announced that he has taken the position of Internet2 Interim Senior Executive Director of Member Relations, Marketing and Communications and is transitioning off of the AOAC. The AOAC thanked George for his leadership both on the AOAC and the Internet2 Board and wished him well. Charlie McMahon, AOAC vice chair was nominated to become chair during the meeting. Additional nominations for a new AOAC Chair and Vice Chair will be accepted for the next week, with a vote for the new Chair and vice chair to follow after nominations close.
And, Charlie McMahon was elected Chair. Paul Schopis was elected Vice Chair.
ARIN:
A new version of the legacy RSA has been posted. Registration is open for the next meeting. It conflicts with the SMM.
NDDI RFP:
We are moving ahead on the RFP for equipment for the Innovation Platform. A number of people from the NTAC have agreed to look at the responses, which are due on Monday the 20th. Akbar noted that this group had been put together to help staff evaluate the responses, the needed NDA's were in place and we are proceeding to set up meetings for the evaluation.
SDN WG:
There is a new WG being formed to think about the new Innovation Platform, particularly OS3E, NDDI and SDN. We have a short list of participants. If you are interested or know someone who is please send their contact information to Dale or Akbar. One focus of the group will be to understand better how to extend this into the campus and help to understand how the science community can better use this functionality to achieve their goals.
