<p class="MsoNormal">Dear ISOC Community Members and Chapters,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>The Board of Trustees is pleased to
announce that at its meeting Monday we approved unanimously the
revisions to the Internet Society By-Laws that were unanimously
recommended for our adoption by the By-Laws Working Group.
Adoption of amendments to the By-laws requires a 4/5 vote, or a
minimum of 10 Trustees; ten Trustees were in attendance. As the
next step, we look forward to our working together to move forward
with their implementation. The new By-Laws and an explanatory
side-by-side of the changes will be available on-line for your
information. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>I also want to express on behalf of
all of us, the Board, the By-Laws Working Group and the ISOC staff
our appreciation for the many contributions of our Chapters and
members to these new By-Laws. Your comments have contributed to a
stronger result, with By-Laws that are updated to reflect the
Internet Society as it is now and as we want it to be.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>A special thank you goes to the
members of the By-Laws Working Group, in particular its community
members, Avri Doria and Bill Smith on behalf of the Organization
members, and John Moore and Hans Peter Ditler on behalf of the
Chapters.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p><br>
Kind regards,<o:p></o:p><br>
Eva Frölich,<o:p></o:p><br>
Chair, Internet Society Board of Trustees.<br>
