[Chapter-delegates] 2024 ISOC Board of Trustees Elections Results

[Victor Kuarsingh]

Olivier,


The language in the Procedures for Trustees, Publication of the Result,
says:


*"Publication of the Result*

*Only the vote counts of the elected candidate Trustee and the total vote
count are to be published, while all candidates and the Board of Trustees
will be provided with the full list of candidates and the number of votes
that each received."*



Basically, only the vote count of those elected and the total vote count
get released broadly (full details are distributed to the candidates and
board).  I can confirm that there were abstentions.



regards,


Victor K
