[At-Large] I AM SO SORRY! WE LOST MARILYN CADE !!!

Fri Nov 6 09:49:06 UTC 2020

Marilyn was a woman whose energy could be felt when she entered a room. You
either hated her or loved her, one thing was certain her life continued to
provoke reactions and even more so in her death. In living Marilyn was
raised and a proud daughter of Virginia in the United States of America and
had a strong sense of justice and appreciation of right and wrong. In life,
in her career she engaged in diverse sectors and serving the globe on
matters of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and Internet
Governance where she interfaced on many levels, facets and she moved among
the corridors of power with the tenacity of a lioness whilst nurturing her
cubs. For many of us who had the rare privilege of serving with Marilyn
Cade whether within the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN), the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), on the Multistakeholder
Advisory Group (MAG), her extraordinary contribution to “Geographical
Diversity and Inclusion through “meaningful participation” is at best
unparalleled. I AM A WITNESS! Marilyn, was one where if you locked her and
others out of a table, she would create her own table until it became
bigger than the table she was already kicked out of. The existence and
success of the National Regional Initiatives being where it is today within
the IGF processes is unequivocally the result of her tenacious advocacy,
diplomacy. Marilyn pushed for the equalisation of voices and challenged our
brothers and sisters in Africa, Asia Pacific, Middle East to rise and be
counted to stand up, to assert their positions and make their voices heard
rather than just token participants in a gathering.

Ms Marilyn Cade, I am deeply saddened to hear of your passing knowing that
you had reached out two days before you passed but rejoice knowing that you
are now resting. Your life impacted all of ours and we thank you for living
your best life and for being a bridge for the underserved regions of the
world.

Wisdom Kwasi (Ghana), Mary Udumma (Nigeria) and I (Fiji)will miss your
forthrightness, love and compassion. Until we meet again, my friend. Rest
Well!

Love and Hugs,
Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro
