[Chapter-delegates] Final results of the 2020 Board elections and IETF selection

[Hiroshi Esaki]

Dear Chapter Leaders,

The Internet Society Elections Committee is pleased to announce the 
final results of the 2020 elections and the IETF selection for the Board 
of Trustees.

The voting concluded on 3 April. The results were announced and the 
challenge period was opened on 6 April. The deadline to file challenges 
was 15 April. One challenge was filed in the Chapters election. In 
accordance with the Procedures for Selecting Trustees, Internet Society 
President Andrew Sullivan, the chairs of the Nominations and Elections 
committees, and the other members of the board discussed the merits of 
the challenge. In the end, the board decided that the challenge was 
without merit and rejected it.

Therefore the election results announced on 6 April stand.
Ndeye Maimouna Diop and George Sadowsky have been elected to the board 
by Chapters.
Ted Hardie has been elected by Organization Members.

Also, following the process documented in RFC 3677, the Internet 
Architecture Board has selected Laura Thomson to serve on the ISOC board.

The term of office for all of the new Trustees will be 3 years, 
commencing with the 2020 Annual General Meeting, 1-2 August.

The Elections Committee congratulates all of the new Trustees and 
expresses its gratitude once more to all the candidates, the members of 
the Nominations and Elections committees, and to everyone who 
participated in the process this year.

Best regards,

Hiroshi Esaki
2020 Elections Committee Chair
