      <div dir="ltr"><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>
