MICE Tax-Exempt Application Status
by Richard Laager July 7, 2017

July 7, 2017

The IRS has notified MICE of its intention to _deny_ our Application for Recognition of Exemption. Recall that we filed under Section 501(c)(6), the classification which includes "business leagues, chambers of commerce, etc.". The IRS has suggested an alternative classification of 501(c)(12), which we understand is very likely to be approved. This is the classification which includes "mutual or cooperative telephone companies, or like organizations". The board encourages all interested members to attend the UG 24 meeting, July 12, 3:00 pm, at SDN Communications in Sioux Falls, SD. -- Richard

Crufty Networks?
by David Farmer July 7, 2017

July 7, 2017

Is Vaultas AS53480 still a live network? I don't see any prefixes associated with the ASN, and haven't seen any traffic across MICE since May 30th, 2017 from the ASN. I think the prefixes that were advertised from this ASN are now advertised by Compudyne AS47096, maybe that's a clue. There web site seems live. Is Monticello Fibernet AS393466 still a live network? I don't see any prefixes associated with the ASN, and haven't seen any traffic across MICE since March 20th, 2017 from the ASN. I don't see the prefixes previously associated with this ASN anywhere on the Internet. Their website seems live, but says "delivered by Arvig" now, maybe that's a clue. :) Is Introvex Solutions AS135886 still a live network? I don't see any prefixes associated with the ASN, and haven't ever seen any traffic across MICE from the ASN. I don't see the prefixes previously associated with this ASN anywhere on the Internet. Cloudflare says their website is offline, maybe that's a clue. Just want to clean things up if they are gone.

MinnState using it own ASN now
by David Farmer May 7, 2017

May 7, 2017

This is just a heads-up to let you know that MinnState(fKA MnSCU), as of around 07:00 this morning, is now using its own ASN, AS675, for originating 199.17.0.0/16, 134.29.0.0/16, and 204.77.32.0/19. Also at the same time, MinnState now has it's own pair of 2x10G connections to Northern Lights GigaPoP at the 511 Building and Centennial Office Building (State Capitol Campus), that are separated from the State of Minnesota's (MN.IT <http://mn.it/>) connections to the GigaPoP at the same locations.

MICE hits 300 gbps
by Justin Krejci May 1, 2017

May 1, 2017

Clearly MICE has been trending upwards but hitting another 100gbps multiple is a pretty nice milestone I think. (yes this is using marketing math). Maybe who ever manages to the social media presence for MICE wants to post an update about this milestone? Good work to all, especially those lately working on the migrations to the new switch fabric, it is definitely appreciated!
