[Chapter-delegates] 2017 Internet Society Board of Trustees Elections

[Harish Pillay 9v1hp]

Dear Chapter Leaders,

The 2017 ISOC Board of Trustees elections have begun!

Electronic ballots were emailed today to all voting delegates. They will
have until 15:00 UTC Monday, 10 April to cast their ballots.

In this year’s election cycle, Chapters are asked to elect two (2) Trustees
to the Board. So voting delegates may vote for two of the candidates on
the Chapters ballot. All new Trustees will serve three-year terms commencing
in June.

Additional details on the elections, as well as information on all of the
candidates can be found here: http://www.internetsociety.org/trustees

To facilitate dialogue between Chapter leaders and candidates for the
Chapters election, the Elections Committee has again launched an online
Candidate Forum.

In response to feedback from members last year, we moved the Forum
from the Connect platform to a Mailman mailing list. Everyone subscribed
to the Chapter-Delegates list was subscribed automatically to the ISOC
Chapters Candidate Forum list. (You may unsubscribe at any time.) If you
did not receive an email welcoming you to the Chapters Candidate Forum
list, please contact me.

We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the candidates and engage
with your Chapter’s voting delegate on the choices this election presents.
