> 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.

> 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
