<span>Hi Chris et. al.,</span>
<div><span><br>
</span>
<div>
<div><span>The policy seems contradictory. In one statement all press releases require board approval and then further down it states it is not required. If I am reading this incorrectly, please let me know.<br>

The AUP does not reference press releases so either the AUP needs to be updated or the policy needs to remove reference to the AUP. Below is an edited suggestion:<br>

</div>

</div>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;">
<div>
<div>
<div>- Since PeeringDB serves a large, diverse community in the public interest, PeeringDB does not typically collaborate on press releases.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>- Routine collaboration with the Internet operations community, such as a portal that facilitates the interconnection of Internet networks, would not typically be considered exceptional.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>- Members of the PeeringDB community are welcome to reference PeeringDB in their press releases, such as sponsorship announcements, product release notes, etc..</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>-Any other press release not specified above requires a majority approval from the PeeringDB Board.</div>

The PeeringDB Board is considering the below draft Press Release Policy,<br>
to be posted at:<br>
<br>
https://docs.peeringdb.com/gov/#policies<br>
<br>
----<br>
- DRAFT<br>
- PeeringDB<br>
- Press Release Policy<br>
- Approved by Board [Month Date, Year]<br>
<br>
- Since PeeringDB serves a large diverse community in the public<br>
interest, PeeringDB does not normally collaborate on press releases.<br>
<br>
- Any press release that includes PeeringDB, requires approval by a<br>
majority of the PeeringDB Board.<br>
<br>
- Only exceptional circumstances should be brought to the PeeringDB<br>
Board for press release consideration.<br>
<br>
- An example of an exceptional circumstance would be a donor wishing a<br>
press release accompany a donation that dramatically exceeds our<br>
highest published sponsorship tier.<br>
<br>
- Routine collaboration with the Internet operations community, such as<br>
for a portal that facilitates the interconnection of Internet<br>
networks, would not normally be considered exceptional.<br>
<br>
- Members of the PeeringDB community are welcome to reference PeeringDB<br>
in their own press releases, such sponsorship announcements, product<br>
release notes, etc., provided there is adherence to the PeeringDB<br>
Acceptable Use Policy.<br>
----<br>
<br>
In regards to the high donation example, there is no donor in mind at the<br>
present time.<br>
<br>
Feedback/questions/corrections/suggestions/objections/approval about the<br>
intent or language/grammar, etc., is welcome!<br>
<br>
Feel free to discuss on this list or provide feedback directly to the<br>
PeeringDB Stewards (Board, Officers, Committee Chairs, Product Manager)<br>
at:<br>
<br>
PeeringDB Stewards <stewards@lists.peeringdb.com><br>
<br>
I intend to facilitate a vote of the Board on this subject after December<br>
6th.<br>
<br>
Humbly,<br>
Chris Caputo<br>
PeeringDB Secretary/Treasurer<br>
