<div> </div>
<div>I do hope this email finds you all well. It has been a while and I have a grey beard :) There seem to be many mailing lists I would appreciate your guidance.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Internet Society placed us a good predicament and we have split ISOC-ZA local activities from the chapter activities. I consider the RALO as the chapter activity so this is now called Internet South Africa - accepted as the Internet Society chapter of South Africa.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The new Internet South Africa Board includes the following volunteers, </div>
<div>Adri Loubser - Chairperson <<a href="mailto:adri.baard@gmail.com" target="_blank">adri.baard@gmail.com</a>></div>
<div>Theo Maseloanyane - Board Member <<a href="mailto:MSLTHE006@myuct.ac.za" target="_blank">MSLTHE006@myuct.ac.za</a>></div>
<div> </div>
<div>They have read the rules and promise to attend your telecon :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please assist to guide them to get added. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I believe they will both make excellent ambassadors for South Africa. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you Mohamed El Bashir for your amazing service through think and thin :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sincerely</div>
<div> </div>
