History

SKMM, having reviewed the existing Internet exchange arrangement for Malaysia, decided a new neutral exchange was required to meet the demands of the industry.
On 14 September 2006, the Malaysian Government announced that a neutral Malaysia Internet exchange, MyIX, was to be up and running by the end of 2006. It was to be set up through cooperation of ISPs to keep Malaysian Internet traffic local by promoting and allowing direct connectivity among local ISPs.
On 30 November 2006 a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by various ISPs for the formation of MyIX. A Protem Committee was formed to formalise the body.
Persatuan
On 31 July 2008 the Registrar of Societies, Shah Alam registered Persatuan Pengendali Internet Selangor dan Wilayah Persekutuan (“Persatuan”). The society, whose registration number is 1332-08-SEL, was tasked to run MyIX. It is expected that the society will become Persatuan Pengendali Internet Malaysia when there are members from other states.
On 15 July 2010, the Registrar of Societies, Shah Alam approved the change in the name of the society as “Persatuan Pengendali Internet Malaysia”.
Committee
MyIX is managed by a committee that comprises elected representatives of local Malaysian ISP’s. AGM is held every year in March and the election of the committee is held once every two years.
