Items brought up by the members / Technical and Policy Q&A:

John van Oppen initiated a discussion about the affiliate clause in the bylaws, indicating he does not support it. There was considerable debate and it was decided that the discussion be continued outside of the meeting.
Voting mechanisms were discussed and it was recommended that the Board figure out a way to determine authorized voters from each ASN, rather than just allow the first apparently legitimate voter from an ASN.

Board of Directors elections:

Erica Ehnert, Nikos Mouat, and John van Oppen were elected to seats expiring in 2021. Much appreciation to Patrick Gilmore for his service on the Board of Directors from 2008 to 2019. Thanks to Tom Paseka for being a candidate.
