<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I think Andrew Sullivan is a wonderful choice to head ISOC. He
hails from a technical background -- working for Dyn, later
purchased by Oracle, and heading the Internet Architecture Board.
He cares deeply about the Internet infrastructure and the policies
that keep it functioning and independent. <br>
</p>
<p>Further, he knows our world, and was an active member of the RDS
Working Group -- and an eloquent voice for understanding the
technology as we tried to balance privacy and access to personal
data in the WHOIS.</p>
<p>A good choice!<br>
</p>
<p>Best, Kathy<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
today is an exciting day for the Internet Society. It gives
me great<br>
pleasure to announce that Andrew Sullivan has been selected
by the Board<br>
of Trustees to become the Internet Society’s new President
and Chief<br>
Executive Officer, formally taking up his position on
September 1, 2018.<br>
<br>
Many of you may know Andrew from his work in the Internet
Engineering<br>
Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB).
He brings a<br>
wealth of Internet industry and technology experience with
him. He<br>
served in a number of past roles, including time at Oracle
Dyn managing<br>
Doman Name System (DNS) development and architecture
departments and as<br>
the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) Chair for two
consecutive years,<br>
2015 and 2016. Andrew also played an instrumental role in
the IANA<br>
Transition as many of you may remember. I’d encourage you
all to read<br>
his testimony on the IAB Website:<br>

<br>
Andrew is currently serving as chair of the IETF
Administrative<br>
Oversight Committee (IAOC), where he has been involved with
discussions<br>
around updating the relationship between the IETF and the
Internet Society.<br>
<br>
Most importantly for us as a global community of members,
organizations<br>
and individuals that care deeply about the Internet, he
embodies the<br>
core values of openness, transparency, inclusion and
diversity that lie<br>
at the very heart of the Internet Society. He is committed
to the ISOC<br>
vision of an Internet that works for all of us, and believes
fervently<br>
in the struggle to bring an Internet that is open,
globally-connected,<br>
trusted and secure to everyone.<br>
<br>
Not only that, but he is also committed to strengthening and
growing our<br>
global community. Together, we have built this global
technical<br>
infrastructure, this resource to enrich people's lives, and
this force<br>
for good in society. Because it is a challenging time for
the Internet,<br>
he knows that it’s also a challenging time for the Internet
Society, but<br>
he firmly believes in the power of this community to realize
its shared<br>
vision for the Internet.<br>
<br>
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kathy Brown
for her<br>
strong leadership over the past four and a half years. She
has been<br>
pivotal in the organization’s transformation and I believe
that we have<br>
never been in a stronger position, not just to face the
challenges ahead<br>
of us, but to emerge as a true world leader in shaping the
path and<br>
future direction of the Internet for the good of all
humanity.<br>
<br>
Kathy will continue in her current role as President and
Chief Executive<br>
Officer of the Internet Society until September 1. On
assuming his new<br>
role, Andrew will work with Kathy during a period of
transition to<br>
ensure a smooth handover of responsibilities.<br>
<br>
Please join me in congratulating Andrew as we prepare to
welcome him<br>
into the growing ISOC family as our new President and CEO.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Gonzalo (for the board)<br>
Chair - ISOC Board of Trustees<br>
