Letter from the ISOC Elections Committee

On behalf of the Elections Committee, we extend our appreciation and 
thanks to all of the candidates who stood for election for the Board of 
Trustees. ISOC is honoured to have such well-qualified candidates.

In the Chapter election, we had three candidates:
	Franck Martin,
	Khaled Koubaa and
	Narelle Clark

63 out of the 82 chapters voted, which is 77%.

Khaled Koubaa, who received the highest number of the votes, has been 
elected for a three year term.

In the Organizational Member election, we initially had five candidates:
	David Appasamy
	Allen Miller
	Philip Smith
	Jonathan Zittrain and
         Guanghao Li

Allen Miller withdrew during the election. Thus, the votes in favour of 
Allen Miller were not counted. 54 of the 92 Organizational Members, or 
59%, voted. The ballot cast was weighted by the class of membership.

Philip Smith and Jonathan Zittrain, receiving the largest weighted 
ballot counts, have been elected for three year terms.

Using the process documented in RFC 3677, the IAB has selected Eric 
Burger as the IETF appointee to the ISOC board.

Per 
http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/elections/2009/timetable.shtml, 
there is a challenge period in which issues may be raised concerning the 
election. This closes 25 May at midnight UTC, and the resulting board is 
seated in the ISOC Board Meeting in Stockholm on 24 July.

The turnout in this case has been higher in the chapter election than in 
recent years, and stable for the organizational membership. The election 
itself conducted with the highest of standards and the elections 
committee is satisified with the electronic voting system that was used 
this year.

Respectfully submitted,

Patrick Vande Walle, chair
