Dear Chapter Leaders,
On behalf of the Internet Society Elections Committee, I wish to extend my appreciation and thanks to all of the nominees and final candidates for the Board of Trustees election. We are honored that so many qualified individuals offered to serve on the Board. Voting closed on Friday and the election results were certified today, in accordance with the elections timetable.

CHAPTERS
In the Chapters election there were six (6) candidates for one (1) elective board seat. Having received the most votes, Luis Martinez has been elected to a 3-year term as Trustee.

Separately, the Board, acting pursuant to its authority under Article II, Section 1(d), announced its intention to offer the runner-up in the Chapters election a one-year appointment as Trustee. This will restore the board to its usual complement of 12 voting members comprised of equal numbers from all three communities: Chapters, Organization Members and the IETF. The number of voting members fell to 11 when Olga Cavalli recently resigned with one year remaining in her term. Muhammad Shabbir is the runner-up, having received the second highest number of votes in the Chapters election.

ORGANIZATION MEMBERS
In the Organization Members election there were four (4) candidates for two (2) Trustee seats, one which includes a three-year term and one which includes a one-year term. As previously announced, the candidate receiving the highest weighted vote count is elected for the full three-year term and the runner up is elected for a one-year term.

Robert Pepper received the highest weighted vote count and, so, wins election for a second three-year term. Paul Ebersman received the second highest weighted vote count and wins election for a one-year term.

The Elections Committee is pleased to report that the level of participation in both elections was significantly higher in 2021 than in recent years.

Voter turn-out in the Chapters election was 93%. Of the 122 eligible chapters, 114 voted.
Voter turn-out in the Organization Members election was 67%. Of the 84 eligible Organization Members, 56 voted.

Please join me in congratulating the successful candidates and thanking all who ran. I also wish to thank all voters, members of the Elections Committee and ISOC's supporting staff.

Election challenges may be lodged between now and 15:00 UTC on Monday, 3 May by email to the President of the Internet Society, Andrew Sullivan (Sullivan at isoc.org). Any such challenges must be addressed to the President of the Internet Society with a recital of the reasons for the challenge. The President, after consultation with the chairs of the Nominations and Elections Committees and the members of the Board of Trustees, shall advise the challenge author of the Board's decision by Wednesday, 10 May.

Again, thanks to all who participated in the 2021 Board of Trustees elections.

Best regards,
Mrs. N. Maimouna Diop
2021 Elections Committee Chair
