>> 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.
