<p>HI Vint and others,</p>
<p>John was extremely passionate on accessibility issues, whether it
be access to the unconnected or whether it be that the internet
should be available and accessible to all, including persons with
disabilities. He was very active with the Accessibility Special
Interest Group, and we will miss his wise council and sage
advice. Even over a month after his passing, I am still in shock
about his passing. <br>
</p>
<p> John was such a dear friend of mine for so many years, and am at
a real loss of not being able to see him or speak to him. John was
so passionate about internet governance, connectivity, and
accessibility issues. We also had so many good conversations on
Roman history, as I had done my undergraduate Thesis on the issue,
and so we had many long conversations on this and so many other
issues.</p>
<p>John was so very helpful on all questions regarding bylaws for
any organization, especially those involving internet access,
connectivity or internet governance. He helped write the bylaws
for many ISOC chapters and also for many ICANN ALSes and was also
involved in NPOC. It was only in August that John was working with
us in NARALO to complete the bylaw revision <br>
</p>
<p>I last spoke to John in early September before heading out to
ICANN Singapore. But it was only a very short conversation and now
wishing for more, He was also instrumental in helping us with the
Accessibility SIG and the Accessibility standing group. We first
met back in the late 1990s or early 2000 when we were founding
ISOC DC. Have so many great memories, and he had such a great
impact and support for me in various issues and other life
struggles, so will miss our chats and talks. I am still in shock
that I will never see him again.</p>
<p>The family has put up a site on Dignity Memorial with a place for
putting notes about John, here is a link,

<p>Perhaps I will see some of you on Saturday at the Memorial</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Judith</p>
