and honoured that such well-qualified individuals stepped forward and
offered to serve on the Internet Society board.

and certified by the Elections Committee.

In the Chapters election we had three candidates for two open Trustee
seats. The candidates receiving the most votes were Glenn McKnight,
with 58 votes, and Hans Peter Dittler with 49 votes. A list of all
Chapters eligible to vote in the 2017 election, indicating which
