Objet: Re: [governance] 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>

I just received the following news via Michele
Koven - “Our father, Ronald Koven, died early
Friday morning in Paris. He will be very missed.
August 11, 1935-October 30, 2015. We will be
creating both a memorial Facebook page and separate
website in his honor where people can post any
memories, thoughts, or pictures they would like to
share.”<br>
<br>
Ronald was a great leader in the field of journalism
and human rights and a frequent contributor here.<br>
