Thanks Eliot and Patrick,

I had the fortune of getting to know Marilyn through-out her involvement
in the IGF. She will be missed.

best regards,

Marilyn worked many years for AT&T, and then later as an independent contractor.  Her mission in life was to defend the open Internet, and she did so tirelessly, in front of governments who would rather have seen a far more government-controlled network.  Doing so helped the IETF to keep doing what we do so well.  She was a formidable presence at IGF, ICANN, a regular at the ITU, and at various other international fora to support the Internet, and a mentor to many, including me.
