[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Board of Trustees Election Results

[Nadira Alaraj]

Dear All,

I would like to commend the efforts of Gihan Dias & his team in dedicating
their time and following up to make the voting process a success. A
congratulations to all the nominees for their willingness to present the
Chapters and  Organization membership on the Internet Society Board. Not to
forget to thank the Chapter leaders and their members in practicing their
role in this transparent democratic process.

I don’t want to wait until the challenging period to end on April 21, to
congratulate both Walid Al-Saqaf and Alice Munyua, and I hope that they
will work toward activating the Chapter Advisory Council charter.

Best regards,

Nadira Alaraj
