[Chapter-delegates] FINAL REMINDER: Call for Nominations, ISOC Board of Trustees

[George Sadowsky]

Hank,

I have not followed the at-large-list.  Unfortunately there's too much to read to follow all my interests.  I remain a member of the ICANN at-lrge community even though I've been inactive since leaving the Board in late 2018.

With regard to your comments about volunteering to serve on the ISOC Board, I agree strongly with your comments and sentiments.

George

>    - A person whose organization may not be completely aware of the immense time spent on ISOC Trustee needs, yet their goals are consistent with the goals of ISOC and allow their staff some leeway into such participation (Ndeye Maimouna Diop/Sonotel, Luis Martinez/Professor in Mexico, Muhammad Shabbir)
