We can rely on our great (and mutually beneficial) relationship with Cologix for space and power, but I don’t think we can assume we’ll always be able to get financial or hardware donations, especially on short notice. The industry is only getting more challenging; we should work towards self-sufficiency. That would mean port fees. I think we should base port fees on our budget: ARIN fees, hardware support, and accumulating enough savings to replace our core switch with a newer, refurbished model by the end of its useful life. We should also plan to gradually save extra for emergencies like legal fees; I agree with Owen, saving over a period of maybe five years.

Re: Candidate Question

by DeLong, Owen

I think that the current financial model is probably sustainable with some risks. As a board member, I would look to the community to build a consensus around a choice on this matter, and, assuming that the consensus plan was fiscally sound, would favor that. However, I also have an opinion as a participant in the exchange and I will share that below: OTOH, I also think that the current financial model depends on the generosity of a few benefactors subsidizing many of the participants. That made a lot of sense when the exchange was in startup mode and its value hadn’t been fully proven yet. However, as the exchange has matured, I believe we should have a much better idea of our annual operating costs and that it would be reasonable to look at some form of annual subscription structure (whether that be port fees, membership dues, or some other form is still an open question where I remain largely agnostic) which would apportion the annual budget among the membership. I believe doing so has the following advantages: 1. Creates a more fair environment for all participants. 2. Creates a situation where each participant has financial skin in the game, so to speak. 3. Provides a more consistent and reliable funding for the exchange, no risk of what happens if several previously generous benefactors have simultaneous bad quarters/years/etc. There is, however, a different risk associated with this process. That is the risk of mission creep. We must be careful to set the fees such that we (ideally) recover our costs and build a small (one to two years) operating reserve. I’d like to see the operating reserve built up over 5 years. I think that the fee structure should be designed to recover no more than 1.2x annual operating costs and that we should not seek to use the ability to have fees as an excuse to turn the exchange into other things it was never intended to be. The SIX may well be a good model to follow as I think it is the closest existing example of what I believe MICE is and should remain with a fee structure in place.
