<div dir="auto">Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
As you may be aware, next Friday, the voting for a trustee elected by ISOC Chapters will close. Last year there was a very good number of chapters submitting a ballot. However, we can do it better ! For some people, the role of trustees is not well understood. They are the directors seated at the board of the Internet Society and elected or appointed by the IETF, the organizational members or the chapters of ISOC. The appointment is for 3 years and can be re-elected once. Although each of the 12 trustees plus additional appointees act towards our mission and values without favoring their “constituency”, the reality is that trustees arising from IETF or the organizational members are not always aware of the work we make at chapters and why our work as volunteers is so complicated at times. Daily work at those groups is quite different from chapter work. Therefore, it is important to get acquainted with their proposals through the candidates’ forum (which just closed). We must elect a trustee that is knowledgeable, passionate, experienced, able to dialogue and that shows no other interests than ISOC's. The result of the election will be a person with the complex task of bringing into the board the view of thousands of members in the chapters. <br>
<br>
Please vote.<br>
<br>
Yours,<br>
<br>
Luis Martinez<br>
Former Trustee<br></div>
