Congratulations to all newly elected Board members. The UK Chapter
is looking forward to work with you.<br>
Thanks for all candidates for standing in this election. The high
voter turnout in the Chapter election is a tribute to the quality of
the candidates that took part in the election. It is great to see
such a vibrant community.<br>
Thanks to Mrs. Diop for the hard work of the election committee in
constituting such a great palette of talent.<br>

Dear Chapter Leaders,
<div><br>
On behalf of the Internet Society Elections Committee, I wish
to extend my appreciation and thanks to all of the nominees
and final candidates for the Board of Trustees election. We
are honored that so many qualified individuals offered to
serve on the Board. Voting closed on Friday and the election
results were certified today, in accordance with the elections
timetable.<br>
<br>
CHAPTERS<br>
In the Chapters election there were six (6) candidates for one
(1) elective board seat. Having received the most votes, Luis
Martinez has been elected to a 3-year term as Trustee.<br>
<br>
Separately, the Board, acting pursuant to its authority under
Article II, Section 1(d), announced its intention to offer the
runner-up in the Chapters election a one-year appointment as
Trustee. This will restore the board to its usual complement
of 12 voting members comprised of equal numbers from all three
communities: Chapters, Organization Members and the IETF. The
number of voting members fell to 11 when Olga Cavalli recently
resigned with one year remaining in her term. </div>
<div>Muhammad Shabbir is the runner-up, having received the
second highest number of votes in the Chapters election.<br>
<br>
ORGANIZATION MEMBERS<br>
In the Organization Members election there were four (4)
candidates for two (2) Trustee seats, one which includes a
three-year term and one which includes a one-year term. As
previously announced, the candidate receiving the highest
weighted vote count is elected for the full three-year term
and the runner up is elected for a one-year term.<br>
<br>
Robert Pepper received the highest weighted vote count and,
so, wins election for a second three-year term. </div>
<div>Paul Ebersman received the second highest weighted vote
count and wins election for a one-year term.<br>
<br>
The Elections Committee is pleased to report that the level of
participation in both elections was significantly higher in
2021 than in recent years.<br>
<br>
Voter turn-out in the Chapters election was 93%. Of the 122
eligible chapters, 114 voted.<br>
Voter turn-out in the Organization Members election was 67%.
Of the 84 eligible Organization Members, 56 voted.<br>
<br>
Please join me in congratulating the successful candidates and
thanking all who ran. </div>
<div>I also wish to thank all voters, members of the Elections
Committee and ISOC's supporting staff.<br>
<br>
Election challenges may be lodged between now and 15:00 UTC on
Monday, 3 May by email to the President of the Internet
Society, Andrew Sullivan (<a href="mailto:Sullivan@isoc.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">Sullivan@isoc.org</a>). Any such
challenges must be 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 the challenge author of the
Board's decision by Wednesday, 10 May.<br>
<br>
Again, thanks to all who participated in the 2021 Board of
Trustees elections.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Mrs. N. Maimouna Diop<br>
2021 Elections Committee Chair<br>
