Re: [manrs-community] Comments to MANRS Community Charter document
by Andrei Robachevsky June 30, 2025

Dear Georgios, Thank you for your input! The reason the explicit mention of the categories of MANRS participants was removed was to allow more flexibility, for example in case the community develops a new program and creates a new category of participants. Otherwise this will also require amendments to the Charter, making the process much more complex. However, you bring an important point - with the removal of the categories it becomes less clear who the MANRS Participants are. Perhaps a more elaborate version of article 1.2 below could solve this issue, while not constraining us to the existing categories? 1.2 The MANRS Participants are organizations that have met and continue to meet the participation requirements and have been audited and approved by the MANRS secretariat. The categories of MANRS Participants and participation requirements are defined by the MANRS Programs and associated MANRS documents, called Actions. The MANRS Participants are organisations that participate in the Internet global inter-domain routing system, such as network operators, Internet eXchange Points (IXPs), Content Delivery Networks (CDN) or Cloud providers, or contribute to the security of the Internet global inter-domain routing system by other means, such as network equipment vendors. Please let me know if this addresses your concern.

June 25, 2025

Dear MANRS Steering Committee members, Thanks very much for proving this update on the MANRS Community Charter. Please note that I have one comment; My comment is related to the intention to remove the following categories/groups of MANRS participants from the MANRS charter: Network Operators, Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and Cloud Providers, Equipment vendors, see: · https://docs.google.com/document/d/16Fp01L_WawHanPWwmhLaBUPCx86kYYi9/view?t… · These categories/groups of MANRS participants, plaid and play an important role in MANRS, see e.g.: · https://manrs.org/cdn-cloud-providers/ · https://manrs.org/netops/ · https://manrs.org/ixps/ · https://manrs.org/equipment-vendors/ Since these categories/groups of MANRS participants, plaid and play an important role in MANRS activities/actions, see above, I propose to leave these terms in the MANRS charter, but with some modifications, on (1) change one of the sentences in current section 1.2 (2) move sections 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.4 to Section 1.3 (will become 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.3.4) · See these proposed changes in the MANRS community charter update in (https://docs.google.com/document/d/16Fp01L_WawHanPWwmhLaBUPCx86kYYi9/view?t…) ====================================================== 1.2 The MANRS Participants are organizations that have met and continue to meet the criteria as defined in MANRS documents and have been audited and approved by the MANRS secretariat. MANRS participant’s representatives are individuals who act on behalf of a MANRS participant organization. 1.3 The MANRS Community is composed of the (representatives of) MANRS participants, organizations, and individuals supporting MANRS, its mission, and objectives. The latter group can be technologists, researchers, members of civil society, and policymakers. Participation in the MANRS community is completely open; people can participate by subscribing to the MANRS community mailing list. Participation in the MANRS community takes various forms, from a mailing list discussion to virtual or hybrid events. People participate in the MANRS community activities in their personal capacity. Currently, there are four MANRS Participants groups/categories identified: 1.3.1 Network Operators – for organisations providing carrier services that can be identified by a unique Autonomous System Number (ASN) and present a common and clearly defined routing policy to the Internet. 1.3.2 Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) – for organisations providing physical infrastructure through which three or more Network Operators and CDN/Cloud providers exchange Internet traffic. 1.3.3 Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and Cloud Providers – for organisations hosting and delivering Internet content, and providing cloud services. 1.3.4 Equipment vendors – for organisations developing routing or routing-related equipment.
