Sorry, Avi, but I disagree. This is about group operations, and this
_is_ the operations group! At least the discussion need to start and
end here, so that everyone knowns what is going on. Although, technical
details discussion could be a new separate list.
Anyway, I'd be very happy if Daniel could help us figure out a way to be
self-sustaining. If the CIX wanted to offer a RIPE-style of services,
I'd be interested in participating!
I think that the CIX bylaws and member agreement would need a few
changes, but other than that, it seems positioned to take the role.
