What some of you might not know, is that PeeringDB is evolving from a bunch of php scripts into a real organisation with a board and appropiate legal registrations! And as PeeringDB stakeholder you can actually have say in how things are run! :-) Please review Chris Caputo's message below and subscribe yourself to the "pdb-gov" mailing list to stay informed about PeeringDB's governance. Being subscribed to the pdb-gov mailing list (in essence) means you are a 'member' and this will grant your organisation one vote in the upcoming elections. Kind regards, Job ----- Forwarded message from Chris Caputo <secretary at peeringdb.com<mailto:secretary at peeringdb.com>> ----- Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 18:49:12 +0000 (UTC) From: Chris Caputo <secretary at peeringdb.com<mailto:secretary@peeringdb.com>> To: pdb-gov at lists.peeringdb.com<mailto:pdb-gov at lists.peeringdb.com> Subject: [PDB-gov] PeeringDB survey results and Board election plan Results of the survey which ended August 15th, along with anonymous comments are up at: https://www.caputo.com/pdb/20150800_PDB_Survey_results.pdf 91 responses, of which 89 voted for the main question: PeeringDB functions should be performed by: - 35 votes, 39.33%: "An independent 501(C)(6) (Not for profit) PeeringDB, with it's own elected board and members" - 14 votes, 15.73%: "The existing global standards body OpenIX 501(C)(6) (Not for profit)" - 10 votes, 11.24%: "The existing regional organization NANOG 501(C)(3) (Not for profit)" - 30 votes, 33.71%: "I don't care just as long as PeeringDB keeps working" That looks like a clear vote for independence, given that the number for independence is 45% more than the combined votes for OpenIX and NANOG. Based on this, we are going to continue working toward becoming an independent non-profit corporation. In the interest of broad support, this is going to be done with transparency and inclusion using the pdb-gov mailing list. The plan: - If you want to participate in the process, please subscribe to the pdb-gov "governance" mailing list with your PeeringDB account email. http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov - Further emails will be sent to pdb-gov mailing list and posted to http://gov.peeringdb.com/ as appropriate. - pdb-gov is where the draft organizational documents will be discussed and refined. These draft documents are up at: https://www.caputo.com/pdb/ - There will be elections for the initial Board of Directors. Candidacies along with max 300 word statements should be submitted to secretary at peeringdb.com<mailto:secretary at peeringdb.com> prior to November 15th. Anyone can run for election to the initial Board. - The interim Secretary (tentatively Chris Caputo) will send out ballots to pdb-gov on November 15th, with voting to happen through November 30th. The org docs currently proscribe one ballot per member organization. The interim Secretary will break ties through public random means. The Secretary will not be eligible for election to the initial Board. - The initial Board will decide on officers, per the tentative Bylaws. The draft documents will then be signed and filed. _______________________________________________ Pdb-gov mailing list Pdb-gov at lists.peeringdb.com<mailto:Pdb-gov at lists.peeringdb.com> http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ NLNOG mailing list NLNOG at nlnog.net<mailto:NLNOG at nlnog.net> http://mailman.nlnog.net/mailman/listinfo/nlnog
