<div class="">Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am writing to you as a member of the Council of
the ISOC-DC chapter and as a petitioner for the current ISOC
Board election. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class=""><u class="">Background</u></b></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have filed a petition to be included on the
election ballot for the ISOC Board of Trustees. My petition
is listed on the ISOC Petitions page:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<a
href="https://www.internetsociety.org/board-of-trustees/elections/2020/petitions/"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.internetsociety.org/board-of-trustees/elections/2020/petitions/</a>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My name on the Petitions page links to this page
with the information I provided and my petition mailbox
address:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
<a
href="https://www.internetsociety.org/board-of-trustees/elections/2020/petitions/George-Sadowsky/"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.internetsociety.org/board-of-trustees/elections/2020/petitions/George-Sadowsky/</a><br
class="">
<br class="">
My petition signatures mailbox address is:</div>

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have filed for the Chapters Election. I need
to receive at least nine (9) signature emails from ISOC
Chapter voting delegates by the deadline, Friday, 28
February 2020 at 15:00 UTC, so that my name will be added to
the candidate slate for the Chapters election. Only emails
from ISOC Chapter voting delegates (usually the Chapter
chair or president) will be valid for my petition, and these
emails must:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
1. come directly from the Voting Delegate via his or her
email address of record with ISOC;<br class="">
2. include the name of the petition supporter’s Chapter,
and;<br class="">
3. include the name of the person whose petition is being
supported (i.e. my name).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If I receive the required number of signatures
from ISOC Chapter voting delegates in support of my petition
by the deadline, we will notify you and add your name to the
slate of candidates for the Chapters election.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class=""><u class="">My request to you</u></b></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I write to ask you to read my statement on the
site above and then, through your Chapter voting
representative, support my petition to be on the ballot. This
support, if successful, only puts my name on the ballot; the
actual voting for the Trustee position comes later.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In my view, ISOC is in a crisis, largely
self-inflicted by the manner in which it has moved to sell PIR
to Ethos Capital. This crisis could turn out to be
existential. Regardless of the outcome of the process
leading to the sale or its retraction, ISOC will have lost
significant trust of the membership and standing in the
not-for-profit community. I believe that current crisis
exists in part because the organization has lost some degree
of fundamental contact and rapport with its membership. I am
running for a seat on the Board in order to change that as
best I can.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">ISOC will need help in picking up the pieces and
re-establishing itself as best possible as a trusted member of
the Internet ecosystem. It has been an important resource for
the Internet ecosystem since its conception, and it is doing
valuable work in several areas. My goal is to help it to
preserve its legacy and to continue its work as best it can.
I think that it would be a tragedy if the current crisis
rendered it isolated and/or ineffective, and I believe that I
have the history, experience and ability to help avoid that
outcome.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I'm available to respond to questions that you
might have regarding my statement or other views I have.
There's more detail about me at <a

moz-do-not-send="true">georgesadowsky.org</a>. I will be
grateful for your support.</div>
