Dear All

RE: ISOC Board of Trustees request for ISOC Kenya

I totally agree with Mctim.
I think we should have been upraised on the voting process and procedure. Advance notice need to have been provided and relevant information regarding the candidates communicated, so that we can analyze and vote for personalities we think could take ISOC community to the next level.

For instance, I just came across the request from Prof Gian. Knowing that if I dont do it I may forget and may fail to beat a deadline, if there is any, I went ahead and goggled his Bio.just to make sure who he is.

Does a Chapter cast one vote or we vote as individuals. How many contenders are in the contest.

This are very vital since some do not know them leave alone hearing about some of them. It is not easy to cast a vote for someone you have never seen or heard of and this put us in very awkward position.

he sounds like an OK candidate to me.  On the other hand, I don't know
him, but I DO know the other 2 candidates at:

http://www.internetsociety.org/candidates-2012-board-trustees-election


The ISOC BoT's should be made up of experienced ppl.  Using that
metric I would vote for them in this order:

1. Gihan
2. Rudi
3. Sala


using the metric of "people i interact with regularly, i would order
them thusly;

1. Sala
2. Rudi


How are we as a chapter going to decide how we cast our vote? Does the
chapter get one vote as a chapter, or do we all get an individual vote
in the global election?  Since we aren't (yet) a formal chapter, we
may not be able to vote in this election!!
