Thank you for sending the note on behalf of the Council.

Ever since the announcement yesterday, ICANN and the wider Internet community mailing lists and platforms have been filled with the sad news. Outpouring of heartfelt  memories and indeed words and tributes is a testimony to his legacy.  It is a tremendous loss, especially for our MS community and he will be sorely missed.
