[governance] Funeral Notice

[Shahzad Ahmad]

Dear Colleagues,

This is terrible and unbelievable news. Really sad to hear this. Imran was an untiring worker for Global Internet Governance from Pakistan. We will agree and a lot of times disagree but we all would value for his untiring efforts in several different spaces, where he would represent very effectively in all the areas of his interest.

Our prayers for the departed soul and condolence with the family for this irreparable loss.

Such is life!

Best wishes and regards

Shahzad
