2002 Board Election

Election Results

30 May 2002 - In accordance with the new Governance structure adopted by the Internet Society last December, and with our Trustee Selection Procedures, three parallel processes were held during the period from March 5, 2002 through May 28, 2002. These were:

• the election of four Trustees by ISOC Organization Members (2 to serve for three years, and 2 to serve for two years)
• the election of one Trustee by ISOC Chapters (3-year term)
• the selection of two Trustees by the ISOC Standards Organizations (1 to serve for three years, and 1 to serve for two years)

The Standards Organization Trustees were selected in accordance with procedures established by these organizations and ratified by the ISOC Board of Trustees.

The Standards Trustees are:

Fred Baker - 3-year term
Erik Huizer - 2-year term

In the Organization Member election, there were 12 candidates on the slate, with four Trustees to be elected. Of the 118 eligible Organization Members, 69 cast ballots. In the Chapter Election, there were 2 candidates on the slate, with one Trustee to be elected (a third candidate withdrew during the voting process). Of the 50 active Chapters, 25 cast ballots.

After a complete count, the elected candidates are as follows:

Organization Member Election

Toshio Miki - 3-year term
Glenn Ricart - 3-year term
Latif Ladid - 2-year term
Osten Franberg - 2-year term

As all members should be aware of by now, ISOC entered the New Year with an updated and changed system of governance and membership. The Board from now on will be made up of representatives from each of the different ISOC constituencies: industry (through the Organizational Members), the engineering community (the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) and the Internet Engineering Task Force, (IETF), and the general membership (through Chapter representation). Thus ISOC will be able to be much more responsive to the concerns of all of its stakeholders.

The election process implementing this change was launched on 6 March, 2002 with the first call put out from the ISOC Nominations Committee for Nominations and Petitions of Chapter and Organization candidates.

Election Timetable:

Nominations for the "consideration of the Nominations Committee" should be sent to the Chairperson of the Nominations Committee, Christine Maxwell, at Nomcomm2002@isoc.org.

Names submitted to "Petition for Board candidacy" should also be sent to the Chairperson of the Nominations Committee, Christine Maxwell, at Nomcomm2002@isoc.org.
