<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Thanks, Luis, 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.

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">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>
