France-IX
France-IX is a Paris-based Internet exchange point (IXP) founded in June 2010 as a membership organisation. As of 21 July 2021[update] it interconnects more than 496 members,[1] making it the largest IXP in France. HistoryFrance-IX was initially discussed by Raphael Maunier (then with Neo Telecoms) and Maurice Dean (then working for Google) in 2008 in Dublin. The project of setting up the internet exchange, initially called PhoenIX, was launched in December 2008. Wouter van Hulten (working for Interxion) proposed the creation of a new association named France-IX in May 2009, to unite the various IXP activities in Paris at the time under one organisation. Christian Kaufmann (working for Akamai) and Nicolas Strina (then working for Jaguar Network) soon joined the initiative.[3] Following the presentation, a survey was sent to the community of internet networks whose results were published during the FRnOG 14 in June 2009. Around that time, the working group got the official financial and logistics support from Jaguar Network, Google, Akamai, Interxion and Neo Telecoms and was renamed France-IX. The first international presentation of this project was made during RIPE 59 in Lisbon. OrganisationFrance-IX is composed of a non-profit association where each member holds one vote, and a commercial company, 100% owned by the association, in charge of daily operations. When a network subscribes to France-IX services, it becomes a de facto member of the association and holds the right to vote during the general assemblies. There are currently 496 members. As of July 26, 2021, France-IX has eight board members, (Stéphane Bortzmeyer, Philippe Duby, Christian Kaufmann, Florence Lavroff, Sarah Nataf, Rebecca Stanic, Mark Tinka, Gregoir Villain).
