of ISOC Trustees in 2005 will close on March 1<sup>st</sup>. So there is only a
week left to submit nominees for this important position. The election date is
June 1<sup>st</sup> and the new Trustees will be seated on August 6<sup>th</sup>.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
11.0pt'>There is one open Trustee seat for the ISOC Chapters. This nominations
process/deadline is quite important and I request your close consideration of
this and please pass word on to your members. ISOC has been, as I believe you
have seen, stepping up its activities in important areas of standards support
(including significant support throughout the IETF Administrative Restructuring
Process to date), education (Network Training, ccTLD workshops, IDN and more)
and, also importantly, policy – especially in the WSIS/WGIG area where
informed commentary and input is, and will continue to be, so vital. This will
be an extremely important year in ISOC’s history and the direction from
the Board will be critical. We welcome self-nominations and nominations of
those you consider well suited to these important endeavors.</span></font></p>
