[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Board of Trustees Election Results

[Gihan Dias]

    Dear Chapter Delegates,

    On behalf of the Internet Society’s Elections Committee, I wish to
    extend our appreciation and thanks to all of the nominees and
    candidates for the Board of Trustees Election 2015. We are honoured
    that such well-qualified individuals offered to serve on the
    Internet Society Board.

    The election concluded on 6^th April and the results have been
    certified by the Elections Committee.

    CHAPTERS

    In the chapters election we had four candidates for the open Trustee
    seat. Walid Al-Saqaf
    <https://www.internetsociety.org/who-we-are/other/walid-al-saqaf>
    received 34 votes out of the 88 votes cast Each of the other
    candidates (and abstentions) received less than this number of
    votes. A list of all Chapters eligible to vote in the election,
    indicating which Chapters exercised their voting privilege, is
    available here
    <http://connect.internetsociety.org/communities/community-home/librarydocuments/viewdocument/?DocumentKey=6cd10bba-8775-43c9-b15e-f88fb047c2b4>.

    ORGANISATIONS

    In the Organisation membership election there were three candidates
    for one Trustee seat. Alice Munyua
    <https://www.internetsociety.org/who-we-are/other/alice-munyua>
    received 92 weighted votes out of 232 weighted votes cast. Each of
    the other candidates (and abstentions) received less than this
    number of votes. In this election, the vote of each organisational
    member has a weight of between 1 and 6 based on the membership category.

    It may be of further interest that in the 2015 Election, 88 out of
    105 Chapters (84%), and 74 out of 119 Organisation Members (62%) voted.

    We now move into the challenge period. Challenges can be lodged
    between now and 21:00 UTC on 17thApril2015, by email to the
    President of the Internet Society, Kathy Brown <brown at isoc.org
    <mailto:brown at isoc.org>> with a recital of the reasons for the
    challenge. The President, after consultation with the Chairs of the
    Nominations and Elections Committees and the members of the Board of
    Trustees, shall advise the author of the challenge of the Board's
    decision within 4days following the end of the challenge period.

    The Challenge Response Period ends on Tuesday, 21 April 2015, the
    date on which the results will be finalized and officially announced.

    Chairman, Elections Committee
