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.
