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

[Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond]

Such sad news to wake up to. We'll never again hear "My Name is Marilyn
Cade" in a meeting, whether at ICANN or IGF or other Internet Governance
meetings. Marilyn was a key person in the creation of ICANN as well as
so many initiatives at IGF, including the building of the National &
Regional IGFs. For a very brief summary of her UN work, see
https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/cade-marilyn

I can remember the very first time I had a chat with her. She stopped
me, as I walked down the stairs of the conference venue, the Hilton in
Sydney. She said something like "Excuse me, I have noticed you are new
here and I wonder if you know who I am?" I responded that I had seen her
introduce herself at the Public Forum using her trademarked
introduction. She responded, "that's right, I don't think you know who I
am, we need to talk", as she asked me if I had time to sit with her for
a coffee. In 30 minutes we found out we had fought on opposite sides of
the battle lines in the past and then exchanged views on all matters of
Internet Governance and she became a regular "Olivier, we need to talk"
at every ICANN meeting. I feel grateful for her support for so many of
the things in ICANN that benefited end users and that needed a little
nudge to take place at critical moments. Over the years, she became a
friend. Her real name was "M". :-)
Condolences to her family,

Olivier
