[AFRI-Discuss] Passing away of two members of the At-Large community

[Vika Mpisane]

Sad to hear this, Nick.

Although I did not have an opportunity to meet Paco, I met Alois at ICANN
Lisbon in 2007 & I think I met him again in one of the subsequent ICANN
meetings.

Please pass the condolences of the .za Domain Name Authority to both
families. Our prayers are with them.

Regards,

Subject: [AFRI-Discuss] Passing away of two members of the At-Large
community

Dear At-Large Community members and Staff colleagues:

I have the sad duty to inform you that Aloyce Menda, Coordinator of 
AFRALO ALS Journalists' Union for Science & Technology Advancement in 
Africa (JUSTA-AFRICA),  lost his battle with liver cancer on 6th April 
2009. He was 50.

At the same time, we have been informed that Paco de Quito, ALS 
Representative of ISOC Catalan in EURALO, has passed away suddenly on 
9th April at the age of 62. (further information at 
http://www.noticias.com/noticia/ha-fallecido-francisco-quinto-fc4.html)

On behalf of all the Staff of ICANN, may I extend our condolences to 
their families and colleagues.
