Template: IXP Association Memorandum of Understanding

Posted Friday, October 3, 2014 - 13:55

A Memorandum of Understanding is a key document for any Internet exchange point. It establishes a clear set of rules and guidelines which exchange participants can follow in order to ensure they remain in good standing. This document can also (optionally) include payment related terms and conditions.

This document template originates from the Tanzania Internet eXchange (TIX) and Uganda Internet eXchange Point (UIXP). We hope it serves as a useful reference for IXPs who have not yet implemented a Memorandum of Understanding or would like to compare and update their existing Memorandum of Understanding.

Welcome to our new website!

Since our meeting in Casablanca, Morocco, we've been working hard to formalize the association and improve its presence. To that end, we've recently upgraded our website in an effort to better support our community and interested outside parties. It's currently somewhat basic but includes important events, news, and an up-to-date map index of African IXPs.

In the future, we hope to incorporate a "resources" section filled with statistics, presentations, templates, tutorials, and other data relevant to Internet exchange points. We also hope to expand our IXP index to include more detailed information about exchange points in the region. We are, of course, open to suggestions about other ways which this site could be used to support the IXP community in Africa, so feel free to contact us if you have any ideas.
