A majority of the CVE Board Members voted in favor of the inclusion of Chandan B Nandakumaraiah (Palo Alto Networks) to the CVE Board. Because a majority has already been achieved, the voting process has officially ended before the May 27, 2021 deadline.
Based on the results of this vote, we would like to welcome Chandan to the Board. He will be added to the list of Board members on the CVE web site and included in all Board list communications from this point forward. Lastly, thanks to all those who voted. Please let us know if there are any questions.
