I'm disappointed of this result, as I was candidate for a second last term.

Dear Colleagues, 

The Nominations Committee has announced the slate for the 2009 ISOC Board of 
Trustees elections and has opened the period for nominations by petition. 

To view the announcement on the website, please go to: 

http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/elections/2009/nomcommreport090209 .shtml 
(or http://tinyurl.com/czhf7f) 


Petition procedures are outlined below. 

This year, two Trustees will be elected by ISOC Organizational Members and 
one by ISOC Chapters for 3-year terms that start June 2009 and expire June 
2012. 

The selected candidates for the Chapters Election are: 

Khaled Koubaa, Tunisia 
Narelle Clark, Australia 

The selected candidates for Organisational Membership Election are: 

Jonathan Zittrain, United States 
Allen Miller, United States 
Phillip Smith, Australia 
David Appasamy, India 
Guanghao Li, China 

Petitions to add candidates to the 2009 ballot must be filed with the Chair 
of the Nominations Committee at < 2009-petition-request at isoc.org >. 

Separate petition mailboxes will be created for each valid petition request 
that is received. 

The petition request should include: 

1. A statement whether the candidate wants to run for the Organisational 
Members Election or the Chapters Election, including a statement that the 
candidate will be able to devote an appropriate level of time to serve on 
the ISOC Board of Trustees. 

2. A short statement of what the petition candidate believes he or she would 
contribute as a Trustee of the Internet Society. All petition candidates 
will be listed in periodic announcements to participating Chapters and 
Organisational Members via electronic mail and will be posted on the ISOC 
web site. 

Signatures in support of a petition shall be filed electronically and must 
be received by 23:59 UTC on the night of March 11. For the purposes of this 
policy, a "signature" shall be an email expressing support for the 
candidate's petition sent by the Election Representative of a Chapter or 
Organisational Member that is eligible to participate in this election, and 
is subject to ISOC verification. The message should include the 
Organisational Member's or Chapter's name and the name of the candidate 
whose petition is supported. 

Each signature must come directly from the Election Representative via email 
to an address designated by the ISOC staff. The Election Representative must 
send a separately e-mailed signature for each candidate he or she wishes to 
support to the candidate's individual petition mailbox as designated by 
ISOC. Each petitioner shall be provided with copies of all signature e-mails 
for his or her candidacy and periodic reports about his or her status in 
obtaining signatures. Announcements regarding successful petitions shall be 
made as soon as practical, and need not await the end of the petition 
period. 

Participating Organisational Members or Chapters can sign petitions for 
candidates running within their own constituency only. A Participating 
Organisational Member or Chapter may sign more than one petition. 

For a petition to be successful a candidate in the Organisational Members 
constituency needs the support of 6 valid signatures and a candidate in the 
Chapters constituency needs 6 valid signatures. 

Successful petitioners will be placed on the ballot. The final candidate 
announcement will be made no later than March 12. 

Sincerely, 

Anne 
[Sent on behalf of the Nominations Committee]
