BITCOIN FOUNDATION HOLDS ELECTIONS FOR NEW BOARD MEMBERS
Despite a rocky year for the Bitcoin Foundation, which faced down potential scandal and hackers and retrenched into “core development”, there’s lots of competition for two vacant seats on the Foundation’s Board of Directors.
The Bitcoin Foundation (BF) is holding elections to replace outgoing board members Executive Director Jon Matonis and current Chief Scientist Gavin Andresen as their terms have expired.
BITCOIN FOUNDATION MEMBERS CAN VOTE FROM FEB. 13-19
Final candidates for the two “individual” seats will be confirmed by the Bitcoin Foundation soon and meanwhile candidates can still be nominated by a BF member or they can nominate themselves. Voting is strictly for BF members.
So far, there are 14 candidates running including two Canadians, Michael Perklin and Francis Pouliot:
Theo Chino is the founder of a small Bitcoin provider to Brick and Mortars in the Bronx and Uptown Manhattan.
Bruce Fenton is an investment expert who organizes Bitcoin conferences and is a member of the Global Bitcoin Alliance and the Bitcoin Association.
