Hi All,
 
In the last months a few meetings/events have been held on routing and addressing (https://github.com/danielkinguk/sarah <https://github.com/danielkinguk/sarah>), which have been quite successful.
 
The format looks interesting whilst missing an official specific venue.
 
From informal discussion, and because of the interest on both topic and format we decided to try to define the _what_ and the _why_
-          What is missing? regular meetings on routing and addressing
-          Why is it important? while being a cornerstone of the Internet there is no dedicated forum
We believe it is important to somehow make recent efforts a regular appointment.
 
The result is a draft that can be found at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-iannone-routing-and-addressing-manifesto/ <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-iannone-routing-and-addressing-manifesto/>
 
Please have a read and send any feedback you may have, but…  If you agree with the content you can show support by “signing it”.
You can either put your name in the list: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/routing.addressing.manifesto <https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/routing.addressing.manifesto>
Or drop an email at: [email-masked] <mailto:[email-masked]> (and we will take care to add your name to the list of supporters)
 
Hope is that this will help to set up a long series of such meetings
 
Ciao
