[PDB-gov] Voting eligibility

[Owen DeLong]

I would say that they may well have a vested interest in the usefulness and management of peeringdb even though
they are not directly peering themselves. Yes.

Why do you find this hard to believe?

As to stock classes… The difference is that currently, unaffiliated individuals have no path to suffrage.

While I agree we should not change the rules for this election, I do think it is worth considering in the longer term.
