[chapter-delegates] FW: Nomination of Veni Markowski

[Gene Gaines]

All,

I strongly support Veni Markovski for reelection as a
Chapters representative on the ISOC Board of Trustees,
for all the reasons stated on this list in the last day.

Veni, you have worked very hard and accomplished much,
but your work is not yet done for ISOC and Chapters.
