Dear George,<br>
<br>
Thank you for sharing your memories of Jo-Anne. I had the fortune to
attend that first workshop at Inet'93 in Stanford were I met Jo-Anne
for the first time and also you. Then, I had the opportunity to
attend the Inet meetings in Prague and Honolulu. As I mentioned to
her partner Scott Weikart, in a large degree I have to say that all
her efforts and willingness to share her knowledge was key to get
our project Colnodo connected to the Internet.... now Colnodo has
25 years. Thank you for your efforts to bring these workshops for
all the attendees from developing countries.<br>
<br>
<span class="tlid-translation translation" lang="en"><span title=""
class=""></span></span>I agree with Paul that her work should be
recognized in the Isoc's Hall of Fame for all her valuables
contribution to the development of the Internet in developing
countries. <br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Julián<br>

<div class="">I'm very sad to hear of Jo-Anne Scott's
passing. She was a good colleague and a good friend.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I first met Jo-Anne at a meeting in Palo
Alto in September 1992, hosted by Steve From and Scott
Weikert. A few months before that, I had discussed
with Larry Landweber at INET'92 in Kobe the
possibility of setting up a training program in
Internet technology and use for people from developing
countries. In the 1970s and 1980s, I worked for the
United Nations and was involved in many technology
transfer programs in the area of computing, and I had
seen to my dismay the state of technical knowledge,
education, and resources in most of the countries in
which I had worked. Larry suggested giving it a try.
Steve Fram was one of the early collaborators, and we
were meeting in his office in Palo Alto to do the
initial planning. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Jo-Anne attended the meeting, I had not
known her before, but her enthusiasm for the project
and solving logistical aspects of making it happen
were contagious, so we became the initial band of
co-conspirators for what became ISOC's network
technologies training program for people from
developing countries. Since INET'93 was planned
for San Francisco in August 1993, we decided to hold
the training workshop in the Silicon Valley just
before the INET meeting, and then have the trainees
participate also in that meeting. We believe that the
latter step was important in introducing them to the
people we hoped would be their future Internet
colleagues and would assist them in the developments
in their own countries.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">At the time I was working at New York
University and was not situated to assist in local
preparation for the workshop. Joanne lived in Palo
Alto, and she believed that she could work with
Stanford University to provide lodging, classroom
space, and meals for the trainees and trainers during
August 1993. She set about to do it with a vigor,
enthusiasm, and initiative that characterized her
contributions to the workshop for the next five
years.. She convinced the University to provide
dormitory space, meal arrangements,and suitable
classroom space for the entire process, and she
coordinated all of the preparatory work, including the
procurement, delivery, and set up for a large number
of personal computers to be used by the three training
tracks. She also arranged for several social events
in the evenings to foster a sense of professional
community among the attendees, as well as to meet
local people who lived in the Palo Alto area. I
remember her setting up a fireside chat with Vint Cerf
one evening, which resulted in a spirited discussion
of the potential of the Internet and the importance of
what it could provide for development.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">At the end of INET' 93, Jo-Anne and I had
dinner with the INET'94 conference chair, and after
reviewing the success of our workshop, we decided to
do it again, a decision that was repeated for several
years after that. Although it may not have been clear
to the workshop participants, the amount of logistical
preparation required to set up the Prague workshop in
1994 was immense. Only a few years had elapsed since
the erosion of the iron curtain and the dissolution of
the Soviet Union, and Czechoslovakia was in a rapid
state of change. Joanne cooperated with the Czech
Technical University to find space for housing in the
Hotel Krystal, a tram ride away from the University
buildings in which staff would be teaching the four
tracks. The Hotel Krystal even had a computer lab
with 24 computers, connected to the Internet via a
low-bandwidth permanent connection. During the
workshop, Jo-Anne learned that our Hotel Krystal had
only been a hotel for a few years and before that it
had been the training institute for the Czech secret
police. We wondered how many microphones were still
installed in various parts of the building, including
the sleeping rooms. Jo-Anne also discovered the
"Chicago Pizza House" (not a typo!) in an
underground warren near the hotel, where we went for
relief several times to escape the rich Czech food
offerings.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Jo-Anne continued to participate actively
in and support the workshop activities in 1995 in
Honolulu, in 1996 in Montréal and in 1997 in Kuala
Lumpur. In 1994 she discovered the local travel agent
in Palo Alto, Maria Orvell, who worked with Joanne and
together they became accomplished in bringing people
from all parts of the world to wherever the next INET
meeting was going to be held.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The process of choosing and assisting
participants to attend the workshops was extensive.
Applications were solicited through a number of
channels, including disseminating information by
participants in formal workshops. These all came to
Jo-Anne and she prepared them for evaluation by a
committee consisting of the teaching staff for the
next workshop. After that, the complex process of
distributing the financial resources that we were able
to obtain, ascertaining the possibility of visas and
helping participants to obtain them (including making
intercessions with the host country), and making
flight arrangements, and this generally had to be
performed individually for each participant. The
logistics process took a lot of time andinitiative,
and Joanne was able to do it, always in time to meet
our deadlines.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Jo-Anne was a true partner. She embodied
the spirit of the Internet, helping, sharing,
supporting, and giving of herself so that others might
learn and in turn share with a new with others in
their country. She believed strongly in the Internet's
ability to help people in earlier stages of
development, and she gave herself fully to the task.
Many workshop participants saw her correctly as
fundamental to the success of their experience. I'm
glad that she lived long enough to observe the
benefits of her contribution to global Internet
development, but very sad that she was not able to
continue to do so. She will be missed.</div>
