[PDB Announce] PeeringDB Governance mailing list and April Meeting & Election

Thu Apr 1 02:12:45 PDT 2021

Dear PeeringDB User,

April is the month in which PeeringDB holds its annual meeting and board 
election.

A corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other legal 
business entity may be a member of the PeeringDB corporation. Membership 
is determined by having both an active PeeringDB.com account and an 
individual representative or role subscription to the PeeringDB Governance 
mailing list:

  http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov

Information on the pdb-gov mailing list, along with a form for 
subscription, is at that web site.

To get a sense of the traffic level (it is low) and review past 
discussions, the archives are publicly available:

  http://lists.peeringdb.com/pipermail/pdb-gov/

If your organization is interested in PeeringDB governance or simply want 
to vote in the upcoming election, please subscribe to the pdb-gov mailing 
list as required. The voter registration forms will be sent to pdb-gov in 
mid-April.

Questions and concerns welcome.

Respectfully,
Chris Caputo
PeeringDB Secretary/Treasurer
