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

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

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
