Congratulations to our newly elected Trustees.<br>
<br>
Dear colleagues, a lot of challenges face you in your new roles. You
can count on ISOC-Bulgaria support for everything good, and on our
criticism for anything bad you may decide... Well, the latter,
hopefully will never happen!<br>
Forget ISOC for a moment (it has its own, and big issues), and think
that from day one you will face some of the biggest problems for the
global Internet, and it will be up to you at some point to take a
decision that may keep the Internet open, or not.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
<br>
Desiree, <br>
Thank you for your work. There were a lot of challenges for you,
too, but as we say, no matter how bad things are, at the end they
will be good. And if they are not good, then it's not the end :)
Thank you and your colleagues, and the ISOC staffers!<br>
<br>

<p class="">Dear Chapter Delegates</p>
<p class=""><br>
</p>
<p class="">On behalf of the Internet Society’s Elections
Committee, I wish to extend our appreciation and thanks to all
of the nominees and final candidates for the Board of
Trustees. We are honoured that such well-qualified individuals
offered to serve on the Internet Society Board. The election
results were certified today, 2 May, according to the
elections timetable.</p>
<p class=""><br>
</p>
<p class="">CHAPTERS</p>
<p class="">In the chapters election we had three candidates for
two open Trustee seats. Hans Peter Dittler and Gihan Dias
received the highest number of votes.</p>
<p class=""><br>
</p>
<p class="">ORGANISATIONS</p>
<p class="">In the Organisation membership election there were
three candidates for one Trustee seat. Hiroshi Esaki received
the largest weighted vote count.</p>
<p class=""><br>
</p>
<p class="">It may be of further interest that in the 2014
Election, 74 out of 100 Chapters voted, or 74% and 87 out of
150 Organisation Members voted, which makes it for </p>
<p class="">58% of participation. </p>
<p class=""><br>
</p>
<p class="">We now move into the challenge period. Challenges
can be lodged between now and 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 7 May
2014, by email to the President of the Internet Society, Kathy
Brown at: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:brown@isoc.org"><span class="">brown@isoc.org</span></a>.
Any such challenges must be addressed to the President of the
Society with a recital of the reasons for the challenge. The
President, after consultation with the Chairs of the
Nominations and Elections Committees and the members of the
Board of Trustees, shall advise the author of the challenge of
the Board's decision within 7 days following the end of the
challenge period.</p>
<p class=""><br>
</p>
<p class="">The Challenge Response Period ends on Monday, 12 May
2014, the date on which the results will be finalized and
officially announced.</p>
