On behalf of the 2019-2020 Nominations Committee, I am pleased to announce the final slates of nominees for the Internet Society Board of Trustees elections.
As announced to the Chapters community on 18 February, we received the required number of signatures in support of George Sadowsky's petition to stand as a candidate in the Chapters election. No other petitions were filed. Therefore, the final Chapters slate for two (2) board seats is as follows:
The candidates for each election slate are listed below in alphabetical order by last name.
Chapters Election (two seats available)
– Satish Babu
– Maimouna Diop
– Luis Miguel Martinez
– Glenn McKnight
– Amir Qayyum
– George Sadowsky
– Roberto Zambrana
It was also announced to the Organization Members community on 22 February that one more candidate, Heather West, was added to the slate of candidates for the Organization Members election. She was originally identified for the slate by the Nominations Committee, but was excluded due to a potential conflict of interest. The Nominations Committee subsequently learned that the potential conflict of interest was resolved. Therefore, the final Organization Members slate for one (1) board seat is as follows:
Organization Members Election (one seat available)
– Olivier Alais
– Ted Hardie
– Heather West
Biographical information on all the candidates is available here:

As noted in a blog post by last year’s Elections Chair, Walid Al-Saqaf (<a href="https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2019/11/heads-up-a-slight-change-to-the-internet-society-election-process/" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2019/11/heads-up-a-slight-change-to-the-internet-society-election-process/</a>), the period that used to be allocated for voting and the Candidates Forum is now split into two shorter sequential periods: the first 14 days is for the Candidates Forum and the second 14 days is for voting. The Candidates Forum will open on Thursday, 5 March. Watch for an email about the Forum soon. Voting delegates* can expect to receive e-ballots from the ISOC Elections Committee by email on Thursday, 19 March and will have until 15:00 UTC on Friday, 3 April to cast votes.
*As a reminder, only the voting delegate of each Chapter is issued an e-ballot, and only for the Chapters Election. If you do not know who the voting delegate for your Chapter is, do not hesitate to contact Christine Saegesser, ISOC Director for Chapters and Individual Members Engagement (<a href="mailto:saegesser@isoc.org" moz-do-not-send="true">saegesser@isoc.org</a>).
This announcement concludes the work of the ISOC Nominations Committee. As chair of this year´s Nomcom I want to thank colleagues who joined me as members of this committee for their commitment and great team work.</font></pre>
