We have added this to the public schedule for broad community awareness. I have also asked my team to push this out to your membership lists and they will be doing so shortly. https://icann86.sched.com/event/2Ozp1/in-memoriam-alan-barrett The community is invited to join the ICANN Board of Directors in honoring fellow Board member Alan Barrett, who passed away on 28 May 2026. Alan was widely respected for his pioneering work in building the global Internet infrastructure and for his leadership in Internet governance in Africa. Community members will have the opportunity to share stories and memories of Alan and come together to celebrate his life and legacy. Remote participation will be available for those who wish to join this gathering online. Safe travels, Thanks, Russ
