[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Elections result

[Franck Martin]

Congratulations to Alejandro.

I'm curious why we have only 57% participation to these elections? A
couple of inactive chapters have been removed from the list. ISOC has a
better engagement with chapters via the sphere project. So what is not
working?

Do chapters care about ISOC governance?

What needs to be fixed to improve chapters participation, even to this
mailing list and to sphere?
