FYI, I understand steps are afoot (if I may be terminally
cute) to look into the possibility of a Canadian CIX. I
gather that a first meeting of interested parties was
supposed to have been held this week here in Montreal,
although I'm not sure how involved CANARIE is/will be in
this effort. I didn't go to the meeting as I had to be in
Washington for ComNet, nor have I had time to follow up
and see how it went, but at least a good portion of the
players up here seem to be talking to each other about the
possibilities at this point.
Disclaimer, Datclaimer: Bunyip's not really a player at the
connectivity layer here in Canada (although we try to stay
in touch with what's happening) and basically everything I
know about the possibility of a Canadian CIX is in the
above paragraph. Okay, maybe here's one more thing. The
person coordinating this meeting was Bernie Turcott of
CRIM (le Centre de recherche informatique de Montreal) and
if you'd like to know more about potential Canadian CIXen
I'd suggest you contact him directly. His email address is
"turcotte@crim.ca".
