              On the issue of voting, I agree with you that it
              represents interest (though, I have to admit that ISOC
              staff put a lot of efforts to make sure everyone votes - I
              got messages and SMS reminders!). The chapters are (still)
              underused (or not used enough) partner of ISOC; they are
              local, but are part of a global organization. If each of
              us can do a little, we will do a lot - together!<br>
              <br>
              What I wonder is (and I have no answer, as I am just a
              chapter president and not affiliated with the
              organizational members, why they voted in such a small
              number? <br>
              <br>
              What does it mean? <br>
              <br>
              Lack of interest? They were not reminded? They don't care
              (I hope that's not the case!)? Perhaps we can hear from
              ISOC, or perhaps ISOC should make an effort and find out,
              and let us - the chapters - know? <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"
                                  target="_blank" 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>
