Subsequent to the election, the PeeringDB Board and myself learned of a member who wanted to vote but was unable.
The emails this member sent to [email protected] were not delivered to me, for an unknown reason. Their SMTP logs show email was delivered to the @peeringdb.com provider, but the email provider did not forward them to me. I presume the email provider determined they were spam. While as far as I can tell, it is not possible for a single additional ballot to have changed the outcome of the election, given the distribution of votes, this is still a concerning event. I would like to understand if anyone else tried to register but had no response from me. Please email [email protected] if this happened to you, so that the whole PeeringDB board and myself can hear about it. (MX for lists.peeringdb.com and peeringdb.com are different.) I can also be reached directly at [email protected] for the next few months.
