[Chapter-delegates] Letter from the ISOC Elections Committee

[Mike Todd]

Alejandro, Narelle, Khaled, Frank and all,

Between the efforts of Khaled and Frank and the expressions posted by 
Narelle and Alejandro there is hardly room for more accolades.

All that is left; to encourage us all to work on the bright future we 
see developing in our path, promising so great a result, that it is 
worth all the efforts we can share.
