Dear all<br>
<br>
Apologies for the cross-posting, and the sombre content. Some of you
will already know that a year ago Heike Jensen passed away. Heike
was a stalwart of Giganet, the Gender DC and other civil society
work at the IGF, and the GigaNET community in the crucial early
years. Her involvement and contribution goes back to the WSIS e.g.
Heike contributed to the Joergensen edited volume (2006) on Human
Rights in the Global Information Society, reporting for Freedom
House and others and being part of IGF meetings through the Gender
DC and Giganet symposia. <br>
<br>
The last time Heike was at the IGF was Sharm el Sheikh I think,
though she may also have been in Nairobi. In recent years she
devoted herself to other work from her (new) homebase in Munich
where she was very happy after adjusting from the move there from
Berlin. <br>
<br>
Heike was a wonderful person, a great researcher and advocate as her
partner below reminds us. I, for one, have missed having her take
part in recent years but I will miss her for the years to come at
this anniversary. <br>
<br>
Just thought some of you would like to know of her passing if you
did not already. <br>
<br>
best<br>
