Hi All,

In the quiet of our election, I want to share the results of another election.  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.  I share some highlights of his bio below.

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.

Plus, Caleb is always available to answer questions, big and small.  I appreciate that he responds wherever he is in the world and provides considered opinions and valuable advice, insight, and discussion.  (Frankly, I’m not sure he sleeps 😊.)

Caleb, congratulations and good luck!!  We need and appreciate your time, energy, and creative solutions for the Internet problems and the building of Internet communities!

Best regards, Kathy
