Photo profil de Nigel Hickson

Hier, un cher ami et membre respecté de la communauté Internet mondiale nous a quittés. Nigel Hickson a été emporté par une longue maladie le 31 mars dernier. Nigel a fait partie du personnel de l’organisation ICANN pendant huit ans et a participé à l’élaboration des politiques Internet pendant plusieurs décennies. Il a récemment occupé le poste de vice-président du Comité consultatif gouvernemental de l’ICANN. 

Personnellement, je connaissais Nigel depuis les débuts du Sommet mondial sur la société de l’information et du Forum sur la gouvernance de l’Internet. Il était une véritable force dans notre communauté et il nous manquera cruellement.

Dans les semaines et les mois à venir, nous aurons de nombreuses occasions de rendre hommage à Nigel et à ses contributions. Nous pensons à lui aujourd’hui et adressons nos sincères condoléances à sa famille.
