First Election of the .NET Foundation

Last year, I wrote about structural changes that we made to the .NET Foundation.

Out of 715 applications to become members of the foundation, 477 have been accepted.

Jon has posted the results of our first election. From Microsoft, neither Scott Hunter or myself ran for the board of directors, and only Beth Massi remains. So we went from having a majority of Microsoft employees on the board to only having Beth Massi, with six fresh directors joining: Iris Classon, Ben Adams, Jon Skeet, Phil Haack, Sara Chipps and Oren Novotny

I am stepping down very happy knowing that I achieved my main goal, to turn the .NET Foundation into a more diverse and member-driven foundation.

Congratulations and good luck .NET Board of 2019!
