<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I refer to the fact that
we clearly have more interest towards the elections, expressed by
chapters, compared to org members. This is something that ISOC
should try to figure out and tell us - as either chapters vote too
much, or org members - not too much? <br>

and best of luck in your full term! <br>
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>
<br>
What do others think?<br>

It is very satisfying to read the turn-out of the
Chapters election as 93% which surpasses any democratic
result that we may read these days in the news. It can
only represent a genuine interest of the Chapters in
ISOC`s "health" and as signal that there is a lot to be
said and heard about ideas and problems from one of the
strongest parts of the organization. Participation of
all members is diverse in deepness and involvement.
Diversity is one of our strengths, while chapters and
organization members have such distinct ways of
participating. The reasons to participate belong to each
member and we can only encourage them to be engaged. <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>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Mrs. N. Maimouna Diop<br>
2021 Elections Committee Chair<br>
Internet Society<br>
