[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Board of Trustees Election Results

[Walid AL-SAQAF]

Dear all,

While waiting for the confirmed results, I join you all in thanking
Gihan and the ISOC election committee, whose work was phenomenal.

I also take a moment to thank my fellow candidates Johan Helsingius,
Rafael Ibarra, and Youn Jung Park, who are all excellent candidates
that are worthy of winning. I was honored and privileged to have been
in this election.

Let's continue to work together to make the Internet stronger and
ensure that becomes accessible to everyone across the globe.

Sincerely,

Walid Al-Saqaf
