This documentation shall be published on the announcement mailing list and the SIX web site for comment by the members and the public for a period of no less than two weeks, whereupon the board shall determine whether the operator is allowed to perform the proposed interconnection. No more than one such proposal shall be entertained at a time, and any subsequent modifications to the interconnected equipment shall be similarly approved by the board. The operator shall be responsible for maintaining any required documentation of all layer-2 devices comprising the switch fabric, and such documentation shall always be available to SIX operations volunteers." ... please review and consider commenting on the following proposal (below) by the "NorthWest WA Internet Exchange" which has also been posted on the web at: http://www.seattleix.net/docs/20090317_NWWA_Interconnect.txt The comment period is 2 weeks.
