[governance] condolences

[Renate Bloem (Gmail)]

Dear Flore,

 

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.

 

When I changed into other fields, I lost somewhat 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!

 

My warmest condolences 

 

Renate Bloem
