A very very sad loss to the Internet world. She gave us so much. I will always remember the laughter we had one opportunity to share at one ICANN conference and several corridor greetings as we raced to our meetings. We miss you already Marilyn...Thank you for all you did for us, the community and humanity. RIP!! Leah Symekher On 2020/11/05 1:04, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond wrote:
Such sad news to wake up to. We'll never again hear "My Name is Marilyn Cade" in a meeting, whether at ICANN or IGF or other Internet Governance meetings. Marilyn was a key person in the creation of ICANN as well as so many initiatives at IGF, including the building of the National & Regional IGFs. For a very brief summary of her UN work, see https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/cade-marilyn
I can remember the very first time I had a chat with her. She stopped me, as I walked down the stairs of the conference venue, the Hilton in Sydney. She said something like "Excuse me, I have noticed you are new here and I wonder if you know who I am?" I responded that I had seen her introduce herself at the Public Forum using her trademarked introduction. She responded, "that's right, I don't think you know who I am, we need to talk", as she asked me if I had time to sit with her for a coffee. In 30 minutes we found out we had fought on opposite sides of the battle lines in the past and then exchanged views on all matters of Internet Governance and she became a regular "Olivier, we need to talk" at every ICANN meeting. I feel grateful for her support for so many of the things in ICANN that benefited end users and that needed a little nudge to take place at critical moments. Over the years, she became a friend. Her real name was "M". :-) Condolences to her family,
Olivier
