[ISOC-members-announce] ISOC 2007 BoT Election Results<BR><BR><BR>Letter from
the ISOC Elections Committee:<BR><BR>On behalf of the entire Elections
Committee, we extend our<BR>appreciation and thanks to all of the candidates who
stood for<BR>election for the ISOC Board of Trustees. ISOC is honored
to<BR>have such well-qualified candidates. In addition, the level
of<BR>interest in this year's elections from ISOC members is a positive<BR>sign
as to the importance and visibility of ISOC's work.<BR><BR>For the election of
Trustees by Chapters, we had four candidates<BR>and a total of 56 out of 76
(73%) possible ballots. The percentage<BR>of chapters participating was much
greater than last year. Four<BR>of the ballots arrived after the formal
deadline. Erring on the side<BR>of inclusiveness, the Elections Committee choose
to accept these<BR>ballots. In the final analysis, the result of the election
would have<BR>been the same whether or not they were included.<BR><BR>One
position is to be filled for a three year term. In addition,
one<BR>additional position opened up this year due to an early
vacancy.<BR>ISOC's election procedures require that this vacancy be filled
by<BR>the individual receiving the second highest number of votes in
the<BR>Chapter elections. This individual will serve a one year term
(the<BR>remainder of the current term). After a complete count, the results
are:<BR><BR> Patrick Vande Walle, 22
votes<BR> Dr. Alejandro Pisanty, 20 votes<BR><BR>As such,
Patrick Vande Walle is elected to a new three year term and<BR>Dr. Alejandro
Pisanty is elected to fill the vacancy for the coming year.<BR><BR>For the
election of Trustees by Organization Members, we had four<BR>candidates and
total of 52 of 78 (67%) possible ballots. The percentage<BR>of
organizational members participating was much greater than last year.<BR>In this
election, the procedures called for the election of two candidates,<BR>each to a
three year term. We had two ballots abstaining, and a total of<BR>8 ballots that
voted for a single candidate, in effect abstaining in the<BR>second vote.
In the Organizational Member election, ballots are weighted<BR>according to the
level of membership. After a complete count, factoring in<BR>membership-level
weighting, the results are:<BR><BR> Desiree
Miloshevic, 30 votes<BR> Dr. Hiroshi
Esaki, 23 votes<BR><BR>As such, Desiree Miloshevic and Dr.
Hiroshi Esaki are elected for three<BR>year terms.<BR><BR>In a separate process,
Olaf Kolkman, the chair of the IAB, reports that the<BR>IETF has selected Ted
Hardie to serve for a three year term.<BR><BR>Per </FONT><A href=""><FONT
size=3>http://www.isoc.org/members/vote/2007election/</FONT></A><FONT size=3>,
there is a challenge<BR>period in which issues may be raised concerning the
election. The challenge<BR>period closes at 23:59 (UTC) on 30 May and the new
Trustees will be seated<BR>at the ISOC Board of Trustees Meeting in Puerto Rico
on 30 June.<BR><BR>The Election Committee again thanks the candidates, the
voters and the<BR>ISOC staff for making this a very successful election. The
voter turnout in<BR>this case was much higher than in recent years and the
election was<BR>conducted with the highest of standards.<BR><BR>We wish ISOC
well.<BR><BR>Fred Baker, chair<BR>Carsten Schiefner<BR>Sébastien
