[PDB Gov] Results of 2019 Election of PeeringDB Board of Directors

[Chris Caputo]

The 2019 election for the PeeringDB Board of Directors has concluded.

There were 5 candidates this year for 3 available Director seats.

100 organizations were registered to vote, and from them, 90 ballots were 
counted including 1 blank vote.

The winners in order and thus seat occupied:

  Seat 1 (term expires 2021): Bijal Sanghani
  Seat 3 (term expires 2021): Fredrik Korsbäck
  Seat 5 (term expires 2021): Patrick W. Gilmore

This was a very close election and I am sure I am not alone in feeling 
much appreciation to candidates Arnold Nipper and Ben Maddison.

Of particular note: Arnold has served as a Director since PeeringDB became 
officially organized in 2015 and his volunteering has helped make 
PeeringDB what it is.  Thank you Arnold!

The complete PeeringDB Board of Directors is now:

  Seat 1 (term expires 2021): Bijal Sanghani
  Seat 2 (term expires 2020): Job Snijders
  Seat 3 (term expires 2021): Fredrik Korsbäck
  Seat 4 (term expires 2020): Aaron Hughes
  Seat 5 (term expires 2021): Patrick W. Gilmore
