Here’s a link to the Facebook page the family has set up. I believe they also plan to set up a website in the near future

Sad news indeed :(

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...

May his soul rest in peace in heaven.

    Oh 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...
    I shall immediately join the page of commemoration as Ian Peter suggest‎s and thank you for sharing this valuable information....

    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.
    Yes, he will be missed.

    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.”

    Ronald was a great leader in the field of journalism and human rights and a frequent contributor here.
