received the following email. I have no further<BR>> details, and this must be a shock to all of us. I would particularly<BR>> urge those of you closer to Francis’s immediate work to get in touch<BR>> with his family as requested below. This is sad news indeed.<BR>> <BR>> Hey,<BR>> My name is Flore MUGUET, I'm the daughter of Francis MUGUET, I'm<BR>> contacting you because you are his friend on Facebook. My father died<BR>> in Paris couple days ago and I just found out Wednesday night, because<BR>> I was worried that I wasn't answering my emails. It's hard for me to<BR>> realize, it' s happening so fast... My dad was the only member of the<BR>> family his side that I fully loved, trusted and respected. On the<BR>> other side I just have my mother. His work was so important for him,<BR>> I'm so sad I didn't accomplished it..<BR>> I need a lawyer for advices, so If you know one, please contact me.<BR>>
Please get in touch with me at <A href="http://us.mc807.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=danceflore@hotmail.com" ymailto="mailto:danceflore@hotmail.com">danceflore@hotmail.com</A> or +33 (0)6 82<BR>> 30 26 70 for the funerals. I would like to have a lot of people<BR>> coming..<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> I have passed on to Flore condolences on behalf on those of us working<BR>> with Francis on Internet Governance issues, but I am sure the family<BR>> would like to hear from those who have worked closely with Francis.<BR>> Flore also asked me about Francis’s work and travel movements – I did<BR>> mention to her IGF and also his current project with ITU – but I<BR>> don’t have contacts for that work, others might like to pass details<BR>> on.<BR>> <BR>> Sad news indeed. Francis was an original thinker with a great devotion<BR>> to these issues. It’s hard to believe that he is no longer with us.<BR>> <BR>>
