2004 Internet Society (ISOC) Elections Results
On behalf of the entire
Elections Committee, I want to thank the terrific slate of candidates
who stood for election to the Internet Society Board of Trustees class
of 2007. Similarly, I want to thank the voters in the election and their
efforts to cast thoughtful ballots.
There were three selection
processes underway during the last few months.
For the election of Trustees by Organization Members, 88 members were
eligible to vote, and we received 47 ballots. The percentage of organizational
members participating was essentially the same as last year. No ballots
were spoiled or were otherwise invalid. After a complete count, factoring
in membership-level weighting, the results are:
Desirée Miloshevic 61 votes
Larry Landweber 52 votes
Accordingly, Desirée Miloshevic and Larry Landweber are declared
elected to the Internet Society Board of Trustees for 3-year terms.
For the election of Trustees by Chapters, 75 chapters were eligible to
vote, and we received 39 ballots. No ballots were spoiled or were otherwise
invalid. After a complete count, the results are:
Patrick Vande Walle 22 votes
Accordingly, Patrick Vande Walle is declared elected to the Internet Society
Board of Trustees for a 3-year term.
As part of ISOC's election process, one member of the Board is named by
the IETF, through selection by the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) and
confirmation by the IESG. We are pleased to be able to announce that Erik
Huizer will be returning for a new three year term on the Internet Society
Board of Trustees.
As chair of the Elections Committee, let me congratulate the new trustees
and thank all the candidates. I trust all of the candidates will find
ways to make contributions to the Internet Society.
Formal ratification of the election results is dependent on the outcome
of the challenge period. Challenges must be received no later than 5:00
pm, EDT on April 25, 2004. Challenges may be raised by an official representative
of an Organization Member, a Candidate, a Trustee or by a member of the
Nominations or Elections Committees. Replies to any challenges are due
no later than May 12, 2004.
Glenn Ricart
Chair, Elections Committee
