UG 46 Meeting & Election
by Richard Laager Oct. 8, 2025

Oct. 8, 2025

The MICE UG 46 meeting will be held Wednesday, October 9, 3:00 pm at UMN and via Zoom. Parking, etc. details same as before: https://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?A2=MICE-DISCUSS;2c503e19.2209 * * *Zoom Details* https://umn.zoom.us/j/97601658469?pwd=C6JWkmoYfB9WjZsnRPr9S5u1l4Zkuz.1 ID: 94910223662, passcode: Jp74Et 651-372-8299, meeting ID 97601658469, passcode 864193 * * *Nominations* We will be holding an election for a board seat. The board consists of three seats with staggered terms, such that one seat comes up for re-election each year (at the fall meeting). This year, Reid's seat is up for election. As in the past, we will close nominations in advance of the meeting so people have a chance to instruct a proxy appropriately. *Nominations will be open for two weeks, September 23 - October 6. *I plan to send reminder emails approximately at the start of and just after the nomination period. In the event that the election is uncontested, our practice is to elect by acclimation at the meeting. Proxies are unnecessary in that situation, assuming that the meeting makes quorum. *Proxies * The bylaws state that you send proxies to the Chief Manager (me, Richard Laager), and electronic means are acceptable. So a simple email is sufficient: rlaager(a)wiktel.com or chiefmanager(a)micemn.net. If you send me a /vote/ by email (e.g. "We vote for <X>."), I will treat it as an a proxy appointment, appointing me to vote on your behalf, but restricted to /only/ the election item and to /only/ vote for the candidate you expressed. If you send me a proxy with different instructions (e.g. "We appoint <Y> to vote for us."), obviously that will be honored as written. -- Richard

Non-MICE/perhaps dumb question
by Frank Bulk May 29, 2025

May 29, 2025

I've been reviewing some of AWS's connectivity products, but it seems like none of them are designed to improve the AWS experience for all of an ISP's customers across AWS's various regions. The background here is that we have a business customer using a key application hosted in AWS's East Coast region. The applications' document upload performance has been less than ideal, and their external consultant is blaming their ISP - us. As you know, once traffic leaves our network and hits upstream providers, our influence on the experience is very limited. My initial thought was to explore whether we could bring AWS closer to all of our customers through some kind of direct peering or other arrangement with AWS. However, from what I'm seeing, AWS's connectivity options are mostly targeted at connecting a single enterprise to AWS, not enhancing general public access to AWS services. Is that just the reality of it, or is there a broader product (other than direct peering with Amazon) that would improve AWS performance for all our customers?

April 23, 2025

FiberNet's BGP peering with Qwilt at MICE has been down since Thursday, Feb 6 at 1:59 pm and our local Qwilt cache appliance's volume dropped to zero early Sunday afternoon. MICE graph shows nothing since Wednesday, February 5: http://micelg.usinternet.com/cacti/graph.php?action=view&local_graph_id=120… Anyone know what's up?
