[Chapter-delegates] My petition for inclusion on the Chapters election slate for the ISOC Board of Trustees

[Lito Ibarra]

Hello

I am not sure if the supporting message needs to go to this account, but
I'll do it anyway.

I, Lito Ibarra, as El Salvador's ISOC Chapter president and on its behalf,
add our support to George Sadowsky's petition to be included on the
election ballot for the ISOC Board of Trustees

Thank you
Regards,
