This in indeed a tragic loss and I fully support this idea as a symbol of our heartfelt sympathies Philip
Dear fellow councilors
You will all recall that in our meeting on Saturday, there was mention of Peter's long standing working relationship with the DNSO and then the GNSO in many of the leadership activities he carried for the cc community.
As many will recall, Peter brought his children each to the ICANN meetings - Clare to Stockholm; Phoebe to Montreal, and Henry came with Liz to Rome, and Liz attended Wellington meetings almost in entirety. Many of us knew her personally, as well, and of her leadership in the Internet community in New Zealand, and in the international work of InternetNZ.
Ken suggested that we recognize Peter's loss, and I believe we all support having the Council send a message of support and recognition, and sending a floral remembrance. We do have funds available to the Council from the left over budget amount that we carried over from the DNSO into the GNSO. I suggest we add an item under other business on the Council's agenda, and approve our Secretariat arranging to send flowers and develop a message of regard and support to send with the flowers as Council.
Best regards,
Marilyn Cade

Just got this info:
Peter advises Liz's service will be Monday, 3 July at 2 pm, at Old St Paul's in Thorndon. Still unsure, but likely, it will be a combined service for wife, brother, father.
