> Hi,

> 

> today is an exciting day for the Internet Society. It gives me great pleasure to

> announce that Andrew Sullivan has been selected by the Board of Trustees

> to become the Internet Society’s new President and Chief Executive Officer,

> formally taking up his position on September 1, 2018.

> 

> Many of you may know Andrew from his work in the Internet Engineering

> Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB). He brings a

> wealth of Internet industry and technology experience with him. He served

> in a number of past roles, including time at Oracle Dyn managing Doman

> Name System (DNS) development and architecture departments and as the

> Internet Architecture Board (IAB) Chair for two consecutive years,

> 2015 and 2016. Andrew also played an instrumental role in the IANA

> Transition as many of you may remember. I’d encourage you all to read his

> testimony on the IAB Website:

> Andrew is currently serving as chair of the IETF Administrative Oversight

> Committee (IAOC), where he has been involved with discussions around

> updating the relationship between the IETF and the Internet Society.

> 

> Most importantly for us as a global community of members, organizations

> and individuals that care deeply about the Internet, he embodies the core

> values of openness, transparency, inclusion and diversity that lie at the very

> heart of the Internet Society. He is committed to the ISOC vision of an

> Internet that works for all of us, and believes fervently in the struggle to

> bring an Internet that is open, globally-connected, trusted and secure to

> everyone.

> 

> Not only that, but he is also committed to strengthening and growing our

> global community. Together, we have built this global technical

> infrastructure, this resource to enrich people's lives, and this force for good

> in society. Because it is a challenging time for the Internet, he knows that it’s

> also a challenging time for the Internet Society, but he firmly believes in the

> power of this community to realize its shared vision for the Internet.

> 

> I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kathy Brown for her strong

> leadership over the past four and a half years. She has been pivotal in the

> organization’s transformation and I believe that we have never been in a

> stronger position, not just to face the challenges ahead of us, but to emerge

> as a true world leader in shaping the path and future direction of the Internet

> for the good of all humanity.

> 

> Kathy will continue in her current role as President and Chief Executive

> Officer of the Internet Society until September 1. On assuming his new role,

> Andrew will work with Kathy during a period of transition to ensure a smooth

> handover of responsibilities.

> 

> Please join me in congratulating Andrew as we prepare to welcome him into

> the growing ISOC family as our new President and CEO.

> 

> Cheers,

> 

> Gonzalo (for the board)
