Wow - this came in as a shock. Nabil was not only a visionary but
also a believer and a doer - which means that when he believed in
something he wouldn't just talk about it, he would actually do
something about it. That that's exactly what he did with the
Internet in Lebanon, with .LB, with everything else. It was a
pleasure to work with him on the Chapter Advisory Council. I shall
miss him.<br>
On behalf of the UK Chapter of the Internet Society, I'd like to say
"thank you" to Nabil, and also send our condolences to Nabil's
colleagues and family.<br>
