We (OIX) have some proposed updates to standards documents that affect this community. As such, we would like to invite anyone and everyone interested to subscribe to the OIX DDP mailing list.
The sole purpose of this OIX DDP mailing list is to discuss changes to standards and/or BCOPs within the scope of OIX. To ensure that all documents are created and updated in an open, community-led, transparent, and bottom-up manner, we need as many eyes on the process as possible.
Thanks in advance - mailing list details follow.

The OIX Document Development Process (OIX DDP) is the process by which current Standards and best current operational practices (BCOPs) for the operation of the Internet, and connected networks, are documented by the Global Network Engineering Community (GNEC). These OIX documents are developed and published in an open, transparent, bottom-up, and ongoing manner designed to yield functional documentation that is accessible to all. To support this, OIX maintains an OIX DDP mailing list for public discussions of proposed documents and/or changes to published documents.
