<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi, Sally.<br>
Best wishes from ISOC - Bulgaria for a successful term as the ISOC
CEO. <br>
You have a unique opportunity, as you are both coming from within
ISOC, and have four months to plan on what your first steps will
be!<br>
<br>
I am hopeful that the chapters will join me in wishing you a very
successful term, as you take ISOC through the next challenging
times (GDC, WSIS+20, to name a couple...)! <br>
<br>
best,<br>
v/ <br>
