Please do not use the google form listed below. ICANN is gathering messages of appreciation and memories from both ICANN staff and the community to share with Nigel's family. These will be compiled alongside messages received by UK Government and collated into a book to be sent to his family. Please email Adam Peake adam.peake@icann.org<mailto:adam.peake@icann.org> , with your message. it would be very helpful if the subject line of any message included "Nigel Hickson". With this in the works, maybe no need for the GNSO Council to have their own book? I am sure Nigel's family will enjoy reading your memories and appreciation – he is much loved.

The reason is there are so many GAC reps and theirs will be FULL!

I think it is likely the GAC will offer a book. Inam happy to ask Nico if that is the case. We could then write into that book, too. Ok? Best, Thomas Sent from my mobile device.

Certainly his work in building a bridge between the GAC and the GNSO has been instrumental and his time commitment very impressive indeed. I recall that when Pam Little passed, we put together a Memories book to give to her family. Councilors wrote personal messages honoring her. Maybe we can do the same for Nigel's family in the meeting in Prague?
