[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Elections result

[Eduardo Diaz]

Franck:

We agree with Veni. Even though we always participate in these elections we
do not see how these trustees help the chapters at all or maybe I am wrong?
Can somebody let us know what things have been accomplished by previous
trustees that have a direct (or indirect) impact on the chapters?
