Subject: [Advisors] CIRA internet exchange points project


Here is an article from the Ottawa Citizen about CIRAs new project to keep
Canadian internet traffic in Canada.

I was at this meeting yesterday and talked to one of the directors about
keeping community owned internet projects in this loop.  Technically, one of
these IPXs would consist of groups of distributors (ISPs) and content
providers who would work together to route traffic inside Canada.  CIRA
wants to facilitate this kind of cooperation -- but I want to be sure that
they include community owned broadband groups from the beginning.  I'm not
sure how to do this.  I talked to one of the current directors about this
issue (from B.C.) and he was keen to get in touch with B.C. groups who could
participate.

Any ideas about how we can help make these connections.
