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

He is committed to the ISOC vision of an</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> Internet that works for all of us, and believes fervently in the struggle to</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> bring an Internet that is open, globally-connected, trusted and secure to</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> everyone.</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> </span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> Not only that, but he is also committed to strengthening and growing our</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> global community. Together, we have built this global technical</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> infrastructure, this resource to enrich people's lives, and this force for good</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> in society. Because it is a challenging time for the Internet, he knows that it’s</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> also a challenging time for the Internet Society, but he firmly believes in the</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> power of this community to realize its shared vision for the Internet.</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> </span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kathy Brown for her strong</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> leadership over the past four and a half years. She has been pivotal in the</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> organization’s transformation and I believe that we have never been in a</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> stronger position, not just to face the challenges ahead of us, but to emerge</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> as a true world leader in shaping the path and future direction of the Internet</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> for the good of all humanity.</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> </span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> Kathy will continue in her current role as President and Chief Executive</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> Officer of the Internet Society until September 1. On assuming his new role,</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> Andrew will work with Kathy during a period of transition to ensure a smooth</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> handover of responsibilities.</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> </span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> Please join me in congratulating Andrew as we prepare to welcome him into</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> the growing ISOC family as our new President and CEO.</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> </span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> Cheers,</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> </span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> Gonzalo (for the board)</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> Chair - ISOC Board of Trustees</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> _______________________________________________</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> As an Internet Society Chapter Officer you are automatically subscribed to</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> this list, which is regularly synchronized with the Internet Society Chapter</span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>> Portal (AMS): <a href="https://portal.isoc.org"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>https://portal.isoc.org</span></a></span></p></div></body></html>
