[chapter-delegates] Position of ISOC Italy on Veni Markovski's petition

[Erkki I. Kolehmainen]

Dear All,

The membership of ISOC Finland cast a total of 13 votes. These were divided among the candidates 4-5-4. For obvious reasons, there had been no (public) discussion on the merits or integrity of any of the candidates.

In light of also the recent discussion on this list, I see no point in my participation in this activity. Nevertheless, I'll continue to work within the IETF and other standards related communities on technical issues of interest.

All the best for your endeavours.

Sincerely,

Erkki I. Kolehmainen
Tilkankatu 12 A 3, 00300 Helsinki, Finland
(09) 4368 2643, 0400 825 943; Int'l: +358 - 9 4368 2643 / 400 825 943
