[ALAC] Stephane van Gelder

Hello all, I am informed that Stephane died last weekend in a traffic accident. Stephane had been active in the GNSO and Nominating Committee and is was Chair of the GNSO during my time as ALAC Vice-Chair. While we didn't agree on everything, Stephane was one of the few members of the domain industry who had both the interest and capacity to work towards broad consensus. His presence at ICANN will be clearly missed. I have been aware of growing interest in the GNSO to support Stephane's posthumous nomination for the ICANN ethos award. I would support this.​ -- Evan Leibovitch Toronto, Canada Em: evan at telly dot org Sk: evanleibovitch Tw: el56
