</u><a href="https://isoc.box.com/s/hjns973w31cswnflgb56nmtm2gvg5c50" target="_blank">https://isoc.box.com/s/hjns973w31cswnflgb56nmtm2gvg5c50</a><u>.</u><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Candidates were asked the following questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">1. What motivates you to be on the Internet Society’s Chapters Advisory Council Steering Committee?<o:p></o:p></p>
