# Board Elections

The first board election was the December 2019 Board Election, won by Jon Ringo. The second board election was the December 2020 Board Election, won by Ralph Streb and Leo Rodrigues. The third board election was December 2021, won by Shroom. In the December 2022 board election, Pigges and Aryan both won as they were the only two candidates standing for the two board positions so they were both automatically elected.

# Future Structure

The Foundation is expected to integrate network organization principles through 2020. The intent is to decentralize decision making and management powers throughout the LBRY network and community as they develop.
