Hi,<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm sad to report that I just noticed that our colleague Roosevelt
King, Secretary General of the Barbados Association of
Non-Governmental Organisations (BANGO) and active in LACRALO has
passed away. I double checked the veracity of the article.<br class="">
<ul class="">

<b class="">Title:</b> BANGO head passes away</li>
<li class=""><b class="">URL:</b> <a href="http://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/74347/bango-head-passes-away" class=""></a><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/74347/bango-head-passes-away">http://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/74347/bango-head-passes-away</a></li>
</ul>
My condolences.<br class="">
<br class="">
Since I met Roosevelt in person about 2 years ago he has been such a
valuable source of information and support for me. In recent times,
I called him perhaps monthly to clear up my understanding of some
LACRALO discussions and also to discuss local Internet Governance
(IG) ideas.<br class="">
<br class="">
He was regularly busy and sometimes in meetings but he usually made
some time for me. I especially appreciated that he always seemed
like he was showcasing his genuine self and he was very much into
acting out of love for his fellow man, representing the people, the
powerless and trying to keep treasured traditions alive. I also
think that even after heated differences of opinion, he loved the
fellow humans and could instantly switch to a friendly mode.<br class="">
<br class="">
His loss does leave me in a lonelier place. His contribution and
encouragement with respect to us having remote hubs of some IG
events and moving to form an Internet Society Barbados Chapter have
been most significant. I will miss his counsel and we are poorer for
the loss.<br class="">
