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.

Thanks you so much for sharing This Info with us, Terri. And thanks to all involved in crafting the council correspondence. I know Nigel was very happy to have experienced Seattle with us as ICANN was always a Space he cherished so much and was super dedicated to. I said this at the EURALO readout this week but I Trust its worth repeating here: The best way to honour his Memory is to make sure we work with the same Level of openness, kindness and dedication Nigel gave the Internet Governance space. So let us be inspired by his Legacy ✨ Take care of yourselves and your folks, everyone! Best, Bruna Santos Terri Agnew via council <council@icann.org> schrieb am Do. 3. Apr. 2025 um 18:23:

Hello all,

Update to share.

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 , 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.

All the best,

Kind regards,

Terri
