Subject: [Chapter-delegates] Millard Clements - In Memoriam


Sadly, we announce the death of Millard Clements, Board of Trustees
Member and Secretary of the Internet Society of New York and liaison to
the international ISOC, on August 29, 2005, after a long battle with
cancer.

Millard, was a graduate of Stanford University with a Ph.D. in
philosophy and education and Professor Emeritus in the School of
Education at New York University where he taught for 35 years.  He was
interested in the human uses of communications technologies in education
and civic life.  He worked in computer support activities at the United
Nations Conferences on Environment and Development, Rio De Janeiro, June
1992; Human Rights, Vienna, 1993; Social Development, Copenhagen, March
1995; and Women, Beijing, 1995.

He organized the YouthCaN project <http://www.youthcanworld.org/>, with
Jim Van Tassell and students in the Environmental Conservation Education
Program, in cooperation with the UN Environment Programme.  Millard
brought in the International Education and Resource Network (iEARN)
<http://www.iearn.org/> in its second year. YouthCaN (Youth
Communicating and Networking), is an annual youth-directed conference
that explores environmental issues and uses telecommunications to develop
cooperative projects, access information, and sustain relationships among
students and teachers in the different cites, nations, and regions of the
world.  Every spring, YouthCaN welcomes over 1200 environmental students
and  educators, from more than 20 countries to present and participate in
educational workshops and activities at the American Museum of Natural
History in New York City.  Reflecting Millard's passion for youth
empowerment, he was consistently adamant that YouthCaN be youth directed,
providing opportunities for youth to assume leadership positions and
gain qualities of self-confidence and optimism.

He is survived by his wife Phyllis, son Jehan, daughters Saritha and
Carlosa, and grandson Drew.

A memorial service to celebrate his life is planned for Sunday,
