[Chapter-delegates] 2019 Board of Trustees Elections

[Walid AL-SAQAF]

Dear Chapter Leaders:

This is to provide you with information on ISOC's 2019 Board of Trustees
elections. As announced by Nominations Committee Chair Glenn McKnight, the
final slate for the Chapters election is as follows:

- Olga Cavalli
- Susannah Gray
- Chester Soong

In this year's election cycle Chapters are asked to elect one (1) Trustee.
The winning candidate will serve a three-year term commencing in July.

Electronic ballots will be sent to the voting representative of each
Chapter on Thursday, 7 March, officially marking the start of the election.
Voting representatives will have until Monday, 8 April, at 15:00 UTC to
cast their ballots. If you do not know who the voting representative for
your Chapter is, do not hesitate to contact Christine Saegesser, ISOC
Director for Chapters and Individual Members (saegesser at isoc.org).

To help you learn about the candidates and their views on various issues
impacting the Internet and the Internet Society, we have assembled these
resources for your information and use.

Candidate Bios
Each candidate was invited to submit a biographical summary. Please take
time to consider the experience and backgrounds of the candidates for the
Chapters election. Links to candidate bios can be found at:

Candidate Forum
To facilitate dialogue between Chapter leaders and candidates for the
Chapters election, the Elections Committee is again launching an online
Candidate Forum. In response to feedback from members, we have moved the
Forum from the Connect platform to a Mailman mailing list. Everyone
subscribed to the Chapter-Delegates list will be subscribed automatically
to the ISOC Chapters Candidate Forum list. (You may unsubscribe at any
time.) The Forum will enable candidates to answer questions posed by the
Elections Committee and by you, Chapter leaders. Please watch your email
inbox for a message welcoming you to the Chapters Candidate Forum list soon.

A description of the role of Trustees, as well as links to information on
