Dear all May I kindly ask you to strictly adhere to our attendance policy? We only have a limited capacity. Especially when it comes to IXPs, which are also customers, please make sure that the eligibility requirements are: * must have an ASN and peer at least at one IXP of the organisers * must have a PeeringDB entry Peering at least at one IXP of the organisers also means this is documented in PeeringDB (alternatively, via your IX-F JSON). We run into major issues when we do not apply the policy strictly. TIA and greetings Arnold
Dear all IMO, it should be clear that selection criteria are mutual exclusive. I.e. a company can't ride on a partner ticket *and* e.g. IXP ticket. We apply the same rule for sponsors. I.e. a sponsor can attend with up the number of attendees listed in the package and no other selection criteria apply. TIA for your cooperation Arnold On 2026-06-19 13:14, Arnold Nipper wrote:

Dear all I've matched the attendees list [0] against our policy [1]. See the Excel file attached. Please check those entries which are marked "Sponsor, Partner, IXP, but not customer" (e.g. Cogent, KPN, HOPUS, COLT, ...) From Caro, I learned that the Host IXP may also propose up to 50 ASN. There is nothing about it in our policy. What are the criteria for those ASN to get an approval? China Mobile's 2nd ASN must read 58453 and not 588453.
