Dear Colleagues,

The 2008 - 2009 Nominations Committee met by teleconference on October 
30, December 9 and 19, January 15 and 29, and February 5.

I am pleased to report the results of the Nominations Committee's 
efforts to select a slate of candidates for the 2009 Internet Society 
Board of Trustees elections. The Committee recommends the following 
nominees:

Organizational Member Trustee positions (two positions to be filled this
year):

-	Guanghao Li, China 
-	Allen Miller, United States 
-	Phillip Smith, Australia 
-	Jonathan Zittrain, United States 

Chapter Trustee positions (one position to be filled this year):

This concludes the work of the Nominations Committee. On behalf of the 
Committee I would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the potential 
candidates who expressed an interest and willingness to serve on the 
board of trustees. The Committee received submissions from many 
well-qualified candidates, and narrowing the field to the final slate 
was an extremely challenging task. We are confident that the nominees 
selected are strongly qualified and will bring unique skills and 
experiences to the ISOC Board of Trustees.

Many thanks also to the Nominations Committee for all their time and 
hard work. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Ballots will be sent electronically to the designated Election 
Representatives of each eligible Organizational Member and Chapter no 
later than March 26th and votes should be cast no later than 23:59 US 
Eastern Daylight Savings Time on April 25th.

Sincerely,

Hiroshi Esaki
Chair, 2009 Nominations Committee
