[FCIX] J Root has Left the Building

[Kenneth Finnegan]

Greetings,

I just wanted everyone to know that Verisign has decided to pull their
J Root/B.gtld node out of FCIX for unspecified reasons, so if you had
a direct peering link up with them, I'd recommend cleaning that up,
because it's not down temporarily.

In other news...
1. I'll be at NANOG next month in SF with FCIX stickers. Make sure to
come say hi if you also happen to be attending.
2. I just started a new job at Arista this month! I'm now a Technical
Solutions Engineer at Arista, so if any of you call Arista TAC, it
might be me on the other end at some point... Arista has been an
invaluable sponsor of FCIX so far, and I've been sufficiently
impressed with their product that after several years of them nudging
me to consider it, I've gone all in. I still plan to keep FCIX
running, and have ensured that my employment there will not cause any
issues for their support of FCIX!
3. I was recently a guest for the On the Metal podcast, where I got to
tell the story about how FCIX happened.

of the exact details were changed to protect the implicated and
incriminate the innocent.

Thanks again for all your support for the Cabal! We keep growing.
