Hello All!

I've been out of the loop here and but have some updates.

There was a change last spring and I moved on to other projects.  But that hasn't worked out for the IX.

I  have regained access to all of the elements, including the email and voip.  Let me reach out to each of you offline in the coming days.

I have been able to reach out to a few locals that are willing to help get the project back up to where it needs to be.

If I haven;t reached out to you in the next 48 hours or you have something urgent, please reach out to me here (my personal email) or via the Phoenix-IX Contacts

peer...@phoenix-ix.net

While I agree it is objectively irresponsible to abandon a project without passing it to another, I think that possibly in this situation we don't know all the details?

2020 has been a difficult year for everyone. Perhaps Paul (and whomever else may be responsible for Phoenix-IX) were subject to things this year beyond their control which led them to be unable to work on the project and unable to transfer it, either.. unfortunate, yes.. but not malicious surely.

If Paul _is_ reading these messages.. I think support is the best path forward.. If there are things that can be done to assist/take over the IX... maybe that would help (as you, Kate, had offered towards the beginning of this all). Though of course, the first step is _reaching_ them... Maybe this can be turned into a "win" for everyone. So: Paul/Phoenix-IX -- let the NANOG community know how they/we can help.

    An update on my side, we reached out to PhoenixNAP, one of the
    Phoenix-IX's vendors.

    PhoenixNAP reached out all of their contacts at Phoenix-IX and
    have received no response. They are in as much of the dark as the
    rest of us. I feel like I'm on the Ghost ship Phoenix-IX.

    What I don't understand, is how somebody could abandon a project
    without passing it to another person or entity. This is extremely
    irresponsible.

    Matt,
    I am running on a huge assumption here, but I think Phoenix-IX
    runs on donated infrastructure. From what I recall, there was
    only an NRC to join Phoenix-IX.
    And in regards to Walt's suggestion, it looks like HE already
    started one with Stellar Technologies. https://48ix.net
    <https://48ix.net/> but it is only in a single facility. So until
    that IX grows, both in peers and footprint, I'm stuck on Phoenix-IX.
    I have wondered what happens if a participant storms the IX. Will
    somebody appear? Because attempts to reach their NOC/peering
    handles has resulted in a lack of response.
    I also wonder how the other Ninja-IX exchanges are running, I
    haven't heard anything about them, is there the same lack of
    communication? Or do those have a local staff?

                   Just a heads-up, I never heard a word from anybody
                at Phoenix-IX.

                   Is there anybody still running the IX? Or is it
                just on autopilot?
                   It'd be nice if anybody had some information on
                whatever happened
                   to Paul. Hopefully he is okay!
