I am stunned and so very sad to hear this news. Rubens was a quiet force and approached each issue with logic and balance. I could count on him to be the backstop on issues beyond my expertise. I felt if I got it wrong, Rubens would gently correct and all would be ok. So tragic to loose such a talented and wonderful person.

It pains me to have to send this to the group, but for those of you that have not heard, fellow IRT member, RySG member, colleague, friend and father (ages 3 and 11), Rubens Kuhl passed away.  

This was just put out by Nic.br:  https://nic.br/noticia/notas/note-of-condolence-rubens-kuhl-registro-br-product-marketing-manager/

Its not often I am at a loss for words, but all I can say is the Rubens was incredibly instrumental in the SubPro Working Group and in this IRT.  

May his memory be a blessing.

Sincerely,

Jeff
