[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Board of Trustees Election Results

[YJ Park]

Dear Gihan and all,

Appreciating Gihan's hard work as chair of election committee for 2015, I
like to congratulate Walid on joining the BoT this year! I enjoyed being a
candidate together with Walid this round who seems to be very eager to
contribute his time and energy to the challenging BoT work. I have strong
belief in his competences in his role as BoT.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I also want to express my respect
for other candidates, Rafael and Johan, who were willing to volunteer their
time and energy for ISOC. Hope we can have more chances to see such
commitments from more chapters down the road.

Best,
YJ
