Election Summary
Over 1,800 people were eligible to vote, with eligibility based on having attended at least one NANOG meeting in the past two years, i.e., between fall 2004 (Reston NANOG32) and fall 2006 (St. Louis, NANOG38).
Of those who were eligible to vote, 108 actually voted. Voters could choose up to three (3) candidates and four (4) charter amendments.
The voting mechanism was designed to ensure that each registered voter cast only one ballot. To respect privacy and protect confidentiality, the identity of the voter and the choices made on the ballot were decoupled so there is no way to know who voted for whom.
Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who voted!
