Peering Coordinator

Definition: A Peering Coordinator is a person responsible for contacting target peers and establishing the Internet Peering relationship.

This is usually accomplished by attending peering forums, speaking at conferences about interconnection techniques, technologies, operations activities, etc. This multidisciplinary job crosses the boundaries of network architecture, technical (routing), business (making the business case), public speaking and evangelism, and legal (negotiating contracts). This job therefore requires a mix of skill sets to be executed effectively.

Some organizations have a "Peering Steering Committee" often consisting of a multi-disciplinary team that handles peering activities. You would find the peering requests discussed with network planning, network engineering, legal, business development and maybe even sales, all evaluating the implications of accepting or denying peering.

(It is interesting that there is typically no designated title of Peering Coordinator in Asia - this activity is done as a side job for a network engineer. )
