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

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

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 6th 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 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.

ORGANISATIONS

In the Organisation membership election there were three candidates for
one Trustee seat. 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 17th April 2015, by email to the President of the
Internet Society, Kathy Brown <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 4 days 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.

Gihan Dias

Chairman, Elections Committee
