Happy Holidays! The PeeringDB Board is considering the below draft Press Release Policy, to be posted at:
https://docs.peeringdb.com/gov/#policies ---- - DRAFT - PeeringDB - Press Release Policy - Approved by Board [Month Date, Year] - Since PeeringDB serves a large diverse community in the public interest, PeeringDB does not normally collaborate on press releases. - Any press release that includes PeeringDB, requires approval by a majority of the PeeringDB Board. - Only exceptional circumstances should be brought to the PeeringDB Board for press release consideration. - An example of an exceptional circumstance would be a donor wishing a press release accompany a donation that dramatically exceeds our highest published sponsorship tier. - Routine collaboration with the Internet operations community, such as for a portal that facilitates the interconnection of Internet networks, would not normally be considered exceptional. - Members of the PeeringDB community are welcome to reference PeeringDB in their own press releases, such sponsorship announcements, product release notes, etc., provided there is adherence to the PeeringDB Acceptable Use Policy. ---- In regards to the high donation example, there is no donor in mind at the present time. Feedback/questions/corrections/suggestions/objections/approval about the intent or language/grammar, etc., is welcome! Feel free to discuss on this list or provide feedback directly to the PeeringDB Stewards (Board, Officers, Committee Chairs, Product Manager) at: PeeringDB Stewards <[email protected]> I intend to facilitate a vote of the Board on this subject after December 6th. Humbly, Chris Caputo PeeringDB Secretary/Treasurer
