<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thank you Evan for informing us of this
sad passing of Thomas Lowenhaupt. I admired and appreciated Thomas
for his forward thinking and commitment to his work and NARALO.
Thank you Thomas!. Recognition in this month's NARALO Newsletter
should be considered. <br>

read about it this morning, practically by accident, in an
email on the ALAC mailing list discussing Rules of Procedure
which used Thomas' death to talk about ALAC's relationships
with ALSs. <br>

prefer that At-Large's written recognition and memory of
Thomas be more than such a callous passing remark. There was a
moment of silence on the August call but nothing here on the
mailing list which is the main news source for those of us who
can't easily make the calls.<br>

ALS was one of the first in NARALO, and he was always deeply
involved in its activities. As first Chair of NARALO I found
him a pleasure to work with. He was extremely well-read and
knowledgeable on his realm of passion and expertise -- the
concept that world cities could use Top-Level Domains to
empower their citizens and get them more engaged in their
community.<br>

disagreed on a few views, but we agreed on far more regarding
the role of the private individual in the growth of the
Internet -- exactly ICANN At-Large's reason for being. At all
times I found him either a worthy debate opponent or a skilled
partner in advocacy, combined with a calm and upbeat tone so
rarely found in these corridors.<br clear="all">
