<P dir=ltr>Sad news indeed :(</P>
<P dir=ltr>I met Ronnie on many occasions because he had a background in
journalism and interests similar to mine, i.e., media, free speech and the
Internet. When my father died in 1999, he was among the first to send his
condolences as he was a close personal friend of his. He will surely be
missed...</P>
<P dir=ltr>May his soul rest in peace in heaven.</P>

gosh ! I'm so sad to hear that. Ronald was à great man and à passionate
activist of freedom of Expression and we have done so many common battles at
the WSIS, at the Council of Europe and at the IGF too...<BR>I shall

Sad news re Ronald Koven<BR><BR><BR>Very sad indeed to learn that Ronnie
passed away. I met him during WSIS early preparation days, where he was very
active with the media caucus. We, in the human rights caucus, fought many
battles jointly with Ronnie. We had different views, too, on some issues,
but discussions with Ronnie were always very friendly, and it was always a
pleasure to see him at IGFs as well as different Internet and Internet
governance related meetings.<BR>Yes, he will be missed.<BR>Meryem
