I'll myself continue to be part of this wonderful team, ensuring now the
transition to Johannes for the leadership, enabling me to dedicate more
time to our sister organization ICANN, while staying involved in ISOC
for projects and to reinforce inter-chapters collaboration. I would also
like to personally thank great people at ISOC: Nick Hyrka (we miss you),
David Frautschy (you are incredible), Callum Voge and all the team under
the refreshing leadership of Sally Wentworth.


Best Regards,

Frédéric Taes,

ISOC Belgium President
