I do find it rather ironic, considering the ISOC chapter leaders lists
are flooded with congratulations every time a chapter announced election
results (something that typically occurs once a year for each chapter).

Thank you for bringing this up - I haven't wanted to do that as I know
it can be a cultural thing, and I am culturally doubly biased (coming
from Finland that has a pretty minimalist/efficient communication
culture, and being a geek/techie). There is definitely a place for
the congratulations and welcomes, but perhaps we need separate lists
for the social stuff and for the admin/policy stuff?
On that note, it is also nice to have people say hello and where they
are from in the chat on the NCSG calls, but I think the right place
for that is in the few minutes in the beginning before the actual agenda
gets going. Once a discussion is ongoing, a sudden "Hello from
Reykjavik" can disrupt the flow of discussion.
