Sad to learn of the untimely demise of our brother Makane Faye. I worked with him many years on the WGIG and IGF. He was such a gentleman. RIP.

Makane était titulaire d'un doctorat en technologie de l'information, d'une maîtrise en gestion de l'information et d'un baccalauréat en sciences de la documentation. Tu vas nous manquer énormément Makane. Repose en paix très cher ami et frère. Nous poursuivons ton œuvre.
