Colleagues,
I understand that Nigel Roberts is circulating a condolences book. I'll see if we can channel this book to the GNSO room during one of our meetings this week to provide a ready opportunity for contributions.
Best wishes,
Heather

Dear Council colleagues,
It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of a member of the GNSO Council, Ben Fuller. Ben has served very ably as the ccNSO liaison to the GNSO Council. We were alerted late last night to this terrible news. Ben was at home this week recovering solidly from heart surgery in February and had planned to be back in the saddle with us for ICANN62.
Leadership is arranging flowers on behalf of the Council to Ben's family to express our condolences. We will also find out the best channel for conveying personal messages and let you know once that is identified.
Best wishes,
Heather, Donna, Rafik
