[Chapter-delegates] What should we infer from the election results?

[Joly MacFie]

Dave, you have to take into account the various constituencies. Chapters vs
Orgs. Voting separately. Chapters for 1, orgs for 2. Making 3 not 4
elected. More info on the candiates is on
http://www.internetsociety.org/who-we-are/board-trustees/trustee-elections/2013/candidates

If you look at http://www.internetsociety.org/list-trustees and read
between the lines, Desiree obviously is a veteran trustee, and Jason has
been making himself useful!

I am sure it was a very difficult choice for the org members!
