Barry, good point about 2.3.2. Bylaws:
https://docs.peeringdb.com/gov/legaldocs/2026-01-14_PeeringDB_Bylaws.pdf section "3.3 Qualifications" could be revised as follows. Current: - Directors may be any person who is elected by a majority vote of all members entitled to vote. Directors may have such other qualifications as the Board may prescribe by amendment to these Bylaws. Proposed: - Using the definition of "affiliate" from section 2.3.2 of these Bylaws, Directors may not be an affiliate of another Director. Other than that, Directors may be any person who is elected by a majority vote of all members entitled to vote. Directors may have such other qualifications as the Board may prescribe by amendment to these Bylaws. For reference: - 2.3.2 Members who are affiliated with each other are entitled to a total of one vote upon each issue. "Affiliate" means, with respect to a particular person, any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such person.
