The Internet Society (ISOC) Board of Trustees provides strategic direction, inspiration, and oversight to advance the organization’s mission of preserving the open, global Internet. The Internet Society’s Nominations Committee is now accepting nominations of qualified individuals to serve on the Board, including self-nominations and third party nominations.
The Internet Society’s By-Laws define that there will be four Trustees selected by ISOC’s Organization members, Chapters, and the IETF. Based on a rotating schedule, in 2015, the Organization members will elect one new Trustee; Chapters will elect one Trustee, and the IETF will select two Trustees. Following an orientation programme, all new Trustees will begin 3-year terms commencing with the Internet Society’s annual general meeting in mid-year 2015.
