Year 2024
btIX would like to express heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Jichen Thinley for his dedicated service as a chairperson at btIX.
“Your expertise, leadership, and commitment have been invaluable to our success. Your strategic vision and collaborative spirit have significantly influenced our growth, and the initiatives you led have left a lasting impact. While we will miss your presence on the board, your contributions will continue to guide us. Thank you once again for your outstanding service. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and hope to stay in touch.”
As of year 2022, we have two new office bearers. Both Ms. Sherab Lhamo and Mr. Nidup Gyeltshen has stepped down from btIX board member and are being replaced by Sonam Kesang from DrukComm and Damchen Zangmo from GovNet.
btIX board would like to express our sincere gratitude for their support during their tenure at btIX and would like to welcome Sonam Kesang & Damchen Zangmo on board.
Message from the btIX Chair to the ex board members of the IX: Mr. Ganga R Sharma, Mr. Karma Sangay & Mr. Sonam Phuntsho.
“I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your service. Board service is the toughest volunteer role, and you took on your Board duties with dedication, grace, and seriousness. I am most grateful for your active leadership and the contributions made for the Internet Exchange. A famous peace activist once said, “Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.” You are both wise and virtuous, and I am grateful you shared those qualities with the IX as a board member. I will certainly miss working with you as a board member, but I look forward to staying in touch with each other for years to come.”
