support of Veni.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I recall that many Chapters expressed
support for Veni (end January 2005) ... and I append a few of
the MANY e-mails sent in support of Veni's nomination at that
time. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Perhaps, the Nomination Committee did not have
sight of these when considering who to nominate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I hope other Chapters will re-iterate their
support. If a Petition is the only way now to include Veni on the list of
Nominations, then I would support (with some sadness that this is necessary)
such a course of action.</FONT></DIV>

Markowski<BR><BR><BR><BR>> Chapter-Delegates:<BR>> This upcoming election
of a chapter candidate to the ISOC Board presents a<BR>> great
opportunity to support the type of leadership that we seek from
ISOC<BR>> on a global level. I am declaring my intention to endorse and
support Veni<BR>> Markowski to continue as our Chapter Board
representative. I believe that<BR>> Veni has been a strong and
courageous voice for chapters and has displayed<BR>> great patience and
courage in the midst of adversity. <BR><BR>> The election of Chapter
representatives to the Board in no way means that<BR>> once elected
these representatives should become narrow and parochial;<BR>> ignoring
the needs of the world Internet community. But it does mean that
we<BR>> expect them to represent us; to have the courage to say and
uphold what may<BR>> not be popular so long as they are in tune with the
needs of the Chapters<BR>> that elected them in the first place. ISOC
is undergoing a deep and thorough<BR>> search for its place in a new
world that wants access to the Internet and we<BR>> are, as a global
organization, in the best position to provide this support.<BR>> After
reading and listening for the last four years, I have drawn the<BR>>
conclusion that at the heart of the Internet Governance debate lurks an
even<BR>> bigger issue: the crisis of leadership. We need to foster a
new leadership<BR>> that upholds the values of openness, truth,
willingness to speak out against<BR>> tyranny no matter where or how it
manifests itself. This leadership must<BR>> uphold principle over power
and learn how to engage others in creating a<BR>> consensus even in the
most difficult of situations. <BR><BR>> I believe that all three of our
chapter representatives today embody these<BR>> qualities. Veni's
re-election would provide a basis for continuity and keep<BR>> a
chapter's champion in the position where he belongs: Board Trustee of
the<BR>> Internet Society.<BR><BR>> Warmest regards,<BR>> From Puerto

start a petition<BR>process with the objective of adding Veni Markovski to the
list of Board<BR>candidates for the Chapter elections. While I understand that
the two<BR>presently selected have the qualifications and fit your
committee's<BR>criteria, I know I speak for many chapters who see in Veni a
powerful voice<BR>for change and for the transformation that ISOC must undergo
if it is to<BR>become a relevant global organization in the 21st
Century.<BR><BR>If the current conditions continue and the Board and its
entities continue<BR>to ignore or pass up opportunities to address its crisis of
leadership, we<BR>will not turn the tide of disillusionment and marginality that
actions such<BR>as these cause in us who have seen the work of Veni, Pat and
Rosa on this<BR>list. While I am sure your committee did not intend this result,
the fact<BR>that you would select two people and not Veni shows how disconnected
the<BR>committee is from the pulse and the drive that is moving the
chapters<BR>forward.<BR><BR>I would like to know, under the current conditions,
how many actual chapters<BR>are alive and functioning, how many would be
involved in the voting and what<BR>is the actual number of petitions needed to
place Veni on the ballot. I<BR>would appreciate your help on this matter. If
not, please direct me to those<BR>who may have the
answers.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Ramón Morales<BR>Chairman<BR>Internet Society of
