For someone like him who is known for his commitment and values, I could only wish at this point of time that he would continue his involvement and contribute to ISOC policy and for the evolution of the multi-stakeholder process, despite the outcome of the election. I particularly wish him very good luck.</div>

<p>Dear Chapter Delegates</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>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><br></p>
<p>CHAPTERS</p>
<p>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><br></p>
<p>ORGANISATIONS</p>
<p>In the Organisation membership election there were three
candidates for one Trustee seat. Hiroshi Esaki received the largest
weighted vote count.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>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>58% of participation. </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>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 href="mailto:brown@isoc.org" target="_blank"><span>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><br></p>
<p>The Challenge Response Period ends on Monday, 12 May 2014,
the date on which the results will be finalized and officially
announced.</p>
