[governance] Funeral Notice

[Chris Prince Udochukwu Njọkụ]

This news is ugly in all aspects. As Michael and Tapani had observed, Imran
had been talking energetically here till the few days ago in question. He
had voluntarily taken up many tasks to move IGC forward. I'm still
imagining the new feet that will truly fit into the big shoes he'd left
behind.

I really morn with Nazia, Laraib and Muhammed and pray they always find the
courage and all it takes to live successfully after such irrepairable loss.

 We mustn't remain with old ways of doing things,

especially if they're not yielding optimum results.
