[Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro" (via governance Mailing List]

Dear Fellow IGC Members,

It is with deep sadness and regret that I inform you of the sudden passing
of our dear friend and colleague Imran Ahmed Shah who died just 2 days
after celebrating his 50th Birthday.

 Last night before going to bed, I received a message from Nazia, his wife
that Imran had passed away the day before due to a heart attack. He was
buried the same day he died. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I am so sad and my heart is
broken 💔💔💔💔. He is survived by his wife Nazia Shah is 44 years old,
daughter Laraib Shah is 15 currently in GCSE and son Muhammed Ali Imran
Shah is 11 just started high school.

I first met Imran when I used to jointly lead the Internet Governance
Caucus (IGC). Imran is the convenor of the Pakistan Internet Governance
Forum hails from Lahore and held many hats such as being President of the
Urdu Internet Society and many other organisations he founded. His advocacy
work in the area of IDNs led to the removal of the two letter limitation.
He was an innovator and held many patents and some pending. He was always
passionate about people, development and ensuring access for all.

Should you wish to send your condolences to his family, their postal
address is as follows:

Mrs Nazia Shah
Flat 25E
Askari 1,
Sadder Cantt
Sarfraz Rafiqui Road
Lahore, Pakistan
