Report of the Elections Committee

Today, the Election Committee confirmed the ballots handled by the  
electronic voting system.

In the Chapter election, we had three candidates:
		
	* Narelle Clark, Australia
	* Eduardo Diaz, Puerto Rico
	* Andy Linton, New Zealand

54 out of the 84 chapters voted, which is 64.3%.

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

In the Organizational Member election, we had seven candidates:

	* Brad Biddle, United States
	* Hiroshi Esaki, Japan
	* Eva Frölich, Sweden
	* Lawrence Lessig, United States
	* Michael Nelson, United States
	* Leonard St-Aubin, Canada
	* Richard Woundy, United States

58 of the 101 Organizational Members, or 57.4%, voted.
They had the opportunity to cast two ballots each.
The ballot cast was weighted by the class of membership.

Eva Frölich and Lawrence Lessig, receiving the largest weighted ballot  
counts, have been elected for three year terms.

Per http://www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/elections/2010/timetable.shtml 
, there is a challenge period in which issues may be raised concerning  
the election. This closes 4 May at midnight UTC, and the resulting  
board is seated in the ISOC Board Meeting in Brussels on 19 June.

The Election Committee wishes to thank all of the candidates, the   
people and organizations that voted, and the staff which supported the  
election.

The turnout in this case has been lower in the chapter election than  
in recent years, although it was stable for the organizational  
membership.

The election itself conducted with the highest of standards and the  
elections committee is satisfied with the electronic voting system  
that was used this year.

We wish ISOC well.

Respectfully submitted,

Patrick Vande Walle, chair
