Dear all,<br>
<br>
While waiting for the confirmed results, I join you all in thanking<br>
Gihan and the ISOC election committee, whose work was phenomenal.<br>
<br>
I also take a moment to thank my fellow candidates Johan Helsingius,<br>
Rafael Ibarra, and Youn Jung Park, who are all excellent candidates<br>
that are worthy of winning. I was honored and privileged to have been<br>
in this election.<br>
<br>
Let's continue to work together to make the Internet stronger and<br>
ensure that becomes accessible to everyone across the globe.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Walid Al-Saqaf<br>

Dear Gihan and all,<br>
<br>
Appreciating Gihan's hard work as chair of election committee for 2015, I<br>
like to congratulate Walid on joining the BoT this year! I enjoyed being a<br>
candidate together with Walid this round who seems to be very eager to<br>
contribute his time and energy to the challenging BoT work. I have strong<br>
belief in his competences in his role as BoT.<br>
<br>
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I also want to express my respect for<br>
other candidates, Rafael and Johan, who were willing to volunteer their time<br>
and energy for ISOC. Hope we can have more chances to see such commitments<br>
from more chapters down the road.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
YJ<br>

Dear Chapter Delegates,<br>
<br>
On behalf of the Internet Society’s Elections Committee, I wish to extend<br>
our appreciation and thanks to all of the nominees and candidates for the<br>
Board of Trustees Election 2015. We are honoured that such well-qualified<br>
individuals offered to serve on the Internet Society Board.<br>
<br>
The election concluded on 6th April and the results have been certified by<br>
the Elections Committee.<br>
<br>
CHAPTERS<br>
<br>
In the chapters election we had four candidates for the open Trustee seat.<br>
Walid Al-Saqaf received 34 votes out of the 88 votes cast Each of the other<br>
candidates (and abstentions) received less than this number of votes. A list<br>
of all Chapters eligible to vote in the election, indicating which Chapters<br>
exercised their voting privilege, is available here.<br>
<br>
ORGANISATIONS<br>
<br>
In the Organisation membership election there were three candidates for<br>
one Trustee seat. Alice Munyua received 92 weighted votes out of 232<br>
weighted votes cast. Each of the other candidates (and abstentions) received<br>
less than this number of votes. In this election, the vote of each<br>
organisational member has a weight of between 1 and 6 based on the<br>
membership category.<br>
<br>
It may be of further interest that in the 2015 Election, 88 out of 105<br>
Chapters (84%), and 74 out of 119 Organisation Members (62%) voted.<br>
<br>
We now move into the challenge period. Challenges can be lodged between<br>
now and 21:00 UTC on 17th April 2015, by email to the President of the<br>
Internet Society, Kathy Brown <<a href="mailto:brown@isoc.org" target="_blank">brown@isoc.org</a>> with a recital of the reasons<br>
for the challenge. The President, after consultation with the Chairs of the<br>
Nominations and Elections Committees and the members of the Board of<br>
Trustees, shall advise the author of the challenge of the Board's decision<br>
within 4 days following the end of the challenge period.<br>
<br>
The Challenge Response Period ends on Tuesday, 21 April 2015, the date on<br>
which the results will be finalized and officially announced.<br>
<br>

Gihan Dias<br>
<br>
Chairman, Elections Committee<br>
