<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial">This is an extreme shock to all of us who heard this
so unbelievable piece of news. As former President of CONGO and Civil Society
coordinator in the WSIS process, I knew Francis quite well. When he was in Geneva, he spent much
time with us in our Office. He was the exuberant friend, out of the box thinker,
sometimes not easy, but so full of energy and always exciting, warm and full of
new ideas.</span></font></p>

contact, but remember –and not so long ago - that he was so proud of
having launched his latest initiative with the ITU, and that he was dreaming to
find a little house overlooking the lake. It is so hard to believe that he is
not there anymore!</span></font></p>
