[Chapter-delegates] VP of Public Policy announcement

[Veni Markovski]

Great news, Lynn!
Great news for ISOC, and for all chapters!
Markus is someone who could do a lot, if he's getting all the needed 
support from ISOC HQ (I am sure he'll be getting all support and 
positive feedback from chapters).
Finally ISOC has a VP for public policy, who is not only truly 
international, but also knows a lot about the way Internet is running, 
and has managed to reach out in his previous career to practically every 
stakeholder in the complex world of the UN, civil society, businesses, 
governments, you-name-it.

Congratulations for the very good choice!
