Introducing the Current Trustees and Officers of the Internet Society
After the chartering of the Internet Society late in December 1991, the
three initial trustees, Kenneth King, Juergen Harms and Robert Kahn
unanimously elected an interim Board of Trustees, shown below. The interim
board is responsible for initial operation of the Internet Society including approval of budgets, appointment of officers and election of an expanded Board
whose members will serve for periods ranging from one to three years. At annual
intervals, nominations for Board positions will be opened and elections held to
refresh approximately one-third of the Board of Trustees each year. The first
such election by the individual Internet Society members takes place in Spring
1993, with the elected officials taking office in July 1993.
