[PDB-gov] Call for candidates for initial Board of Directors

[Chris Caputo]

Repeating the call for candidates for the initial Board of Directors...

There are zero candidates as of now.  (Sun Nov 1 18:03:30 UTC 2015)

The sooner you get on the ballot, the better, so that folks with questions 
about your goals or background, can reach out to you.
