Hi Chris Absolutely agree with you; someone earlier had suggested that since Directors can also be members, that section 2.3.2 *might* be argued to apply to votes being taken by the Board as well. It's a weak claim, but one that could be made in the absence of clearer language.
I do find it interesting that the Directors do not *need* to be associated with any Member organizations; there is no restriction on who can be voted in as a Director, allowing for the possibility that in the future, the Board of Directors could be entirely populated by people with no member affiliation to PeeringDB at all. I'm still mentally wrestling with whether or not that could be a strength, or a weakness in the Bylaws, though. ^_^;; Thank you for the clarification!
