Dear Maimouna, George and Ted,<br>
<br>
on behalf of ISOC UK England, I would like to congratulate you on
your win and look forward to working with you in forthcoming years.
The Internet Society is faced with many challenges, both internal
and structural, but also external and global, and I hope that you
will, as Board members, seek more engagement with the communities
that have been coming together to place you in the position of
responsibility that you are now taking.<br>
<br>
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the other
candidates, Satish Babu, Luis Miguel Martinez, Glenn McKnight, Amir
Qayyum and Roberto Zambrana for the Chapters Election and Olivier
Alais and Heather West for the Organisation Members Election. A
vibrant community comes with vibrant elections and a full slate of
contenders in the election, thus providing a wide choice of
candidates. The responses that you provided in the Candidate Forum
were all very wise indeed and I hope that the candidates that were
selected will read back these fora as a starting point to utilize
the wisdom that was shared there, and take the opportunity to work
with you and all of us for the benefit of the Internet Society and
the Internet as a whole.<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond<br>
ISOC UK England<br>

<br>
On behalf of the ISOC Elections Committee, I wish to extend our
appreciation and thanks to all of the nominees and final
candidates for the Board of Trustees election. We are honored that
such well-qualified individuals offered to serve on the Board.
<br>
<br>
The election results were certified today, in accordance with the
elections timetable.
<br>
<br>
CHAPTERS
<br>
In the Chapters election there were seven (7) candidates for two
(2) Trustee seats. Ndeye Maimouna Diop and George Sadowsky
received the most votes.
<br>
<br>
ORGANIZATION MEMBERS
<br>
In the Organization Members election there were three (3)
candidates for one (1) Trustee seat. Ted Hardie received the
largest weighted vote count.
<br>
<br>
It may be of further interest that in the 2020 elections, 88 of
the 122 eligible Chapters voted, or 72.13%, and 57 out of 102
eligible Organization Members voted, or 55.88%.
<br>
<br>
Please join me in congratulating the successful candidates and
thanking all who ran. I also wish to thank all voters, members of
the Elections Committee and ISOC's supporting staff.
<br>
<br>

addressed to the President of the Internet Society with a recital
of the reasons for the challenge. The President, after
consultation with the chairs of the Nominations and Elections
Committees and the members of the Board of Trustees, shall advise
