[Chapter-delegates] Continuing our important work together

[Victor Ndonnang]

Dear Lynn,
I had the chance to meet you and talk with you during some international 
"I" meetings (ISOC, ICANN) and I really appreciate your openness and 
your simplicity. It is a little bit sad for me to see leaving your 
position as President & CEO of the Internet Society; But I'm not too sad 
because I know you will remain an active member of the Internet Society 
after February 1, 2014.

You achieved great realizations as the Executive Leader of ISOC and I 
would like to join the ISOC's community and the Internet Community at 
large to thank you for all your hard work and leadership.
Due to your great work, the better future is the only way for the 
Internet Society!
Thanks you for all.
Best regards,
Victor Ndonnang.
Secretary General
Internet Society Cameroon Chapter.

We continue to strengthen the Internet Society's position as a leader and advocate effectively globally and locally on behalf of an open, global Internet.  It is because I am so confident that the Internet Society is well positioned for the future that I decided to take this step.
