Dear Congratulation to Grace and the team. I think internet voting is still a challenge in this part of the world. I got lost in the process . I support the idea that the committee could tell us the percentage of people who made to vote and if members are in agreement then we could make a way forward for this great organization. This process is making ISOC Kenya a stronger and better organization that will have structures to lobby and advocate on internet issues in the country. Guys lets allow the people we gave the manded to mange the process give a forward for the good of all Jane On Tuesday, March 25, 2014 5:24 PM, Mwendwa Kivuva <Kivuva@transworldafrica.com> wrote: Dear Members, Probably the elections committee can explain the challenges they faced. Electronic Internet voting is not an easy thing in this part of the world were Internet itself is a challenge. It's great the chapter set the precedence in electronic voting. We saw some members requesting for more time to vote since they only have access to internet during weekdays, yet the voting was done on the weekend. I would also like them to divulge how many people voted, and if those numbers constituted any quorum. In all AGMs, there is usually a set number of members that constitute quorum for any elections. I'm expecting maybe of the 500 members, a third voted, that is about 150 members. It's only logical that a certain threshold has to be met for the election to be valid, and represent the interest and wish of the majority of members. It would be nice if the election team discussed and divulged those challenges, and clarify members concerns. All the same, Kudos to the elections committee. I'm confident they will do the right thing. Warm Regards On 25/03/2014, Gideon <gideonrop@gmail.com> wrote:

Lets exercise patience guys.
I can confirm I also had issues with my global registration number and had to query ISOC.
This team has been nothing but transparent. Lets give them the benefit of doubt.

Elections in Kenya the Kenyan style!
I didn't believe they can do this even with something small as the ISOC Chapter elections; or maybe someone is rehearsing for the big thing in the near future....

Members,
As you may have noticed, there has been delay in releasing election results. This has been occasioned by a challenge where we found some discrepancy in details submitted by some voters and those existing in the ISOC AMS. As this affects a significant number of voters, the Committee has forwarded the names to ISOC Global for further verification.
We apologise for this delay and undertake to release the results as soon as we can.
