In addition, NYNOG announces the addition of three new board members.

Temkin's role at NYNOG is informed with a history of leadership in the network operator world; he assembled and led the team that built the world's largest Content Delivery Network for Netflix and its global studio technical infrastructure including systems and storage. He also held leadership roles with Yahoo, NANOG, and Children of Bellevue. Currently, Temkin leads infrastructure and cloud initiatives at security firm, Imperva, and he holds advisory and leadership roles with DRIVENETS, Community IX, and Catchpoint.
