<br>
today is an exciting day for the Internet Society. It gives me great<br>
pleasure to announce that Andrew Sullivan has been selected by the Board<br>
of Trustees to become the Internet Society’s new President and Chief<br>
Executive Officer, formally taking up his position on September 1, 2018.<br>
<br>
Many of you may know Andrew from his work in the Internet Engineering<br>
Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB). He brings a<br>
wealth of Internet industry and technology experience with him. He<br>
served in a number of past roles, including time at Oracle Dyn managing<br>
Doman Name System (DNS) development and architecture departments and as<br>
the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) Chair for two consecutive years,<br>
2015 and 2016. Andrew also played an instrumental role in the IANA<br>
Transition as many of you may remember. I’d encourage you all to read<br>
his testimony on the IAB Website:<br>

<a href="https://www.iab.org/2016/05/24/iab-chair-testifies-before-u-s-senate-at-iana-transition-hearing/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.iab.org/2016/05/<wbr>24/iab-chair-testifies-before-<wbr>u-s-senate-at-iana-transition-<wbr>hearing/</a><br>
<br>
Andrew is currently serving as chair of the IETF Administrative<br>
Oversight Committee (IAOC), where he has been involved with discussions<br>
around updating the relationship between the IETF and the Internet Society.<br>
<br>
Most importantly for us as a global community of members, organizations<br>
and individuals that care deeply about the Internet, he embodies the<br>
core values of openness, transparency, inclusion and diversity that lie<br>
at the very heart of the Internet Society. He is committed to the ISOC<br>
vision of an Internet that works for all of us, and believes fervently<br>
in the struggle to bring an Internet that is open, globally-connected,<br>
trusted and secure to everyone.<br>
<br>
Not only that, but he is also committed to strengthening and growing our<br>
global community. Together, we have built this global technical<br>
infrastructure, this resource to enrich people's lives, and this force<br>
for good in society. Because it is a challenging time for the Internet,<br>
he knows that it’s also a challenging time for the Internet Society, but<br>
he firmly believes in the power of this community to realize its shared<br>
vision for the Internet.<br>
<br>
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kathy Brown for her<br>
strong leadership over the past four and a half years. She has been<br>
pivotal in the organization’s transformation and I believe that we have<br>
never been in a stronger position, not just to face the challenges ahead<br>
of us, but to emerge as a true world leader in shaping the path and<br>
future direction of the Internet for the good of all humanity.<br>
<br>
Kathy will continue in her current role as President and Chief Executive<br>
Officer of the Internet Society until September 1. On assuming his new<br>
role, Andrew will work with Kathy during a period of transition to<br>
ensure a smooth handover of responsibilities.<br>
<br>
Please join me in congratulating Andrew as we prepare to welcome him<br>
into the growing ISOC family as our new President and CEO.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Gonzalo (for the board)<br>
Chair - ISOC Board of Trustees<br>
