<p>Thank you, Hana, for the kind introduction and for connecting us to the wider community. I also deeply appreciate the warm wishes extended to us by our ISOC peers.</p>
<p>I would like to take this opportunity to especially thank the Chapter Peer Mentors (Sami Saleh, Sudan Chapter / Alphonce Odhiambo, Kenya Chapter / Sindy
Obed, Haiti Chapter / Adebunmi Akinbo and James Olorundare, Nigeria
Chapter) who generously supported our election process as observers. With the Somalia Chapter now back in good standing and under a newly elected team, we are excited to drive forward and contribute meaningfully to the global Internet Society community. </p><p>Your continued support is always greatly appreciated. </p>
