<div dir="auto">Truly tragic news indeed, he will be sorely missed... <div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">As it happens I have friends who were some 15 cars back from the accident and just now in chat, they have commented to me how prompt the helicopter response was, delivering 2 doctors to the scene, and how much care and time was taken stabilizing him before transport to hospital, they feared spinal involvement in the injury list I believe... Not any consolation of course but it appears that everything that could be done for he, and of course Julie, was done efficiently and in a very timely manner.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Mar 27, 2018, 09:06 Austin, Donna via council <<a href="mailto:council@gnso.icann.org">council@gnso.icann.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
