i have already mentioned it, chris.
Google, which has multiple ASN's registered in peeringdb, should obviously
not get more than 1 vote
But what about Google and Google Fiber?
Their parent company is Alphabet. Do they get 2 votes?
Edgecast and Verizon should also get a vote each, if they cared.
64 registered voters out of how many potential? i dont know if id call that
a success
too many people have their heads up their asses and this should have never
gone down this path to begin with, quite frankly
