>    Patrick Vande Walle,   22 votes
>    Dr. Alejandro Pisanty, 20 votes

> As such, Patrick Vande Walle is elected to a new three year term and Dr.
> Alejandro Pisanty is elected to fill the vacancy for the coming year.

> For the election of Trustees by Organization Members, we had four candidates

> ballots that voted for a single candidate, in effect abstaining in the

>    Desiree Miloshevic,   30 votes
>    Dr. Hiroshi Esaki,    23 votes

> As such, Desiree Miloshevic and Dr. Hiroshi Esaki are elected for three year

> In a separate process, Olaf Kolkman, the chair of the IAB, reports that the
> IETF has selected Ted Hardie to serve for a three year term.

> Per http://www.isoc.org/members/vote/2007election/, there is a challenge
> period in which issues may be raised concerning the election. The challenge
> period closes at 23:59 (UTC) on 30 May and the new Trustees will be seated
> at the ISOC Board of Trustees Meeting in Puerto Rico on 30 June.

> The Election Committee again thanks the candidates, the voters and the ISOC
> staff for making this a very successful election. The voter turnout in this
> case was much higher than in recent years and the election was conducted
> with the highest of standards.

> We wish ISOC well.
