<div dir="ltr">Dear Walid,<div><br></div><div>thanks a lot for the announcement and for the work behind it. I beg you to extend recognition to the committee members and staff responsible.</div><div><br></div><div>I am particularly glad that Mike Godwin has been elected to the Board, and heartened that he and Mieke will bring in a principled view and a will to make ISOC stand strong in these turbulent times. Their clarity about their roles will surely add to their intelligence and experience. Case someone hasn't followed this, because it was the Advisory Board election, Mike is more easily remembered for his "Godwin's Law" - but we should understand that this happens because he was early with the pioneers on the impact of the Internet in society. If I remember correctly, he was the lawyer who sat with John Perry Barlow to write the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace in order to give it Constitutional gravitas, density, and coherence. He continues to be a sprite and we'll do well to follow him and make him welcome in the Chapters realm. </div><div><br></div><div>Alejandro Pisanty</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 4:58 PM Walid AL-SAQAF <<a href="mailto:walid@al-saqaf.se">walid@al-saqaf.se</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-m_915647276405968583gmail_signature"><div>Dear Chapter Leaders,</div><div><br></div><div>The Internet Society Elections Committee is pleased to announce the final results of the 2019 elections for the Board of Trustees.
