<p class="MsoNormal"><span>In the quiet of our election, I want to share the results
of another
election.<span> </span>ISOC
recently reappointed NCSG
and NPOC member Caleb Olumuyiwa Ogundele for another three
year term to the
ISOC Board, and that is good news that I have not seen shared
on this list. This
reappointment is a special honor and shows Caleb’s high level
of dedication and
commitment to ISOC and the Internet Community.<span>
</span>I share some highlights of his bio below<i>.</i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>What impresses me about Caleb’s work is that it takes place
at the
global, regional, national and local levels – and he brings a
special
understanding that all levels are important. Whether it is the
ISOC Board, AFRINIC,
NCSG and NPOC’s Membership Chair, and other projects, Caleb
brings people
together and works hard to ensure that important issues and
ideas are discussed
by our community. He gets things done. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span>Plus,
Caleb is
always available to answer questions, big and small.<span> </span>I appreciate that he
responds wherever he is
in the world and provides considered opinions and valuable
advice, insight, and
discussion.<span> </span>(Frankly,
I’m not sure he
sleeps </span><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊</span><span>.)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><i><b><span>Caleb,
congratulations and good luck!!<span> </span>We need and
