Hi,<br>
<br>
While still in its verification phase and does not become official
until 21 April, but I just read:<br>
<br>
<blockquote><font face="Liberation Serif, serif"><span lang="en-GB">In
the chapters election we had four candidates for the open
Trustee seat. <a href="https://www.internetsociety.org/who-we-are/other/walid-al-saqaf" target="_blank">Walid
Al-Saqaf</a> received 34 votes out of the 88 votes cast Each
of the other candidates (and abstentions) received less than
this number of votes. A list of all Chapters eligible to vote
in the election, indicating which Chapters exercised their
voting privilege, is available <a href="http://connect.internetsociety.org/communities/community-home/librarydocuments/viewdocument/?DocumentKey=6cd10bba-8775-43c9-b15e-f88fb047c2b4" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></font></blockquote>
