[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Brazil - Tadao Takahashi

[Flávio Rech Wagner]

ISOC Brazil, the Brazilian Chapter of the Internet Society, deeply 
regrets to register that our pioneer and leader Tadao Takahashi passed 
away yesterday, at the age of 71.

Tadao was one of the great Internet pioneers in Brazil and, for his many 
relevant contributions, was inducted into the Internet Society Hall of 
Fame in 2017 
<https://www.internethalloffame.org/inductees/tadao-takahashi>, a 
distinction bestowed on only four other Brazilians.

Tadao was one of the co-founders and great leaders of ISOC Brazil.

He was also one of the founders and director of RNP, the Brazilian NREN 
(National Research and Education Network). He also had an essential role 
in the creation of CGI.br, the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee, a 
pioneering multistakeholder Internet governance body, in 1995.

You may check out here <https://youtu.be/nxLDRY4ajf4>the video where 
Tadao, on the occasion of his induction into the Internet Hall of Fame, 
talks about his contributions to the Internet.

Greetings

Flávio Wagner
President of ISOC Brazil
