[Chapter-delegates] Update on 2009 ISOC Board of Trustees Elections

[Anne Lord]

Further to Narelle's posting, I would add that the Sphere OCS  
(Organisation, Civil Society) Project Group is looking at related  
issues. I would encourage anyone with an interest to join the sphere- 
ocs group and to participate in constructive discussions.   Rudi has  
recently agreed to take on the chairmanship for the group (thanks  
Rudi) and it is looking for new and active participants.  For anyone  
not aware of this group, the remit can be found at:

or http://tinyurl.com/bp4g4o

Details of how to join are at:

Best wishes,
Anne
