NIX is also acting as the unofficial technical and social meeting-point for Norwegian ISPs and have assisted the startup of the Norwegian NOG (NONOG). Current activities includes building a more resilient internet infrastructure in Norway, and also promoting a ground based infrastructure for time and frequency.

Stefan Wahl was one of the founders of ECIX in 2001 and then CEO for many years. Together with the ECIX team, he built it into the most successful IXP outside of Berlin and Frankfurt. With its five locations, ECIX is still one of the two largest IXPs in Germany. In late 2016, he led the successful sale of the company to Megaport Australia, the most successful NaaS provider in the world. Until mid-2022, Stefan worked as Senior Ambassador for ECIX and MegaIX at Megaport. 

After his time at Megaport, he remained loyal to the Internet Community and the IXP business. Today he is working again as a freelance consultant with focus on Internet based services and offerings and is happy to realize his own projects again and to support others with theirs. Therefore he works for LU-CIX on different topics as a freelance consultant. 

He benefits from the fact that he has been working for City Carrier and Local incumbents for many years on projects in the access and internet area, where he could draw on the know-how from his studies of electrical engineering. Due to the foundation of ECIX he had to interrupt his studies and only graduated in 2019/2020 with a BSC in Computer Engineering with focus on Internet measurement in Layer2 networks at the TU-Berlin.  The most rewarding experience, besides being back on the cutting edge of research, has been working productively with the research community and often much younger students.

Stefan also still regularly attends conferences and events as an active member of the Internet community. 

Actively working with the community and helping to plan, organize and run events like DENOG, Ripe, ISOC or Euro-IX are a big part of this. In the last years he has gained a lot of experience in working groups and program committees. In this way, he has been instrumental in making the Euro-IX Bench Mark Club more effective and meaningful to its members. 

For many years it has been a matter of the heart for him to help new people in the community to quickly find a connection and to be accepted. From his own experience he can only emphasize how important the personal support and the open ear are, so that they can have as much fun in this community for decades as we do.  

I look forward to many more years of collaboration with the community and to what the future will bring in terms of new technologies and possibilities.
