On behalf of the Global Innovation Gathering: Hello World, we received the news that our beloved fellow GIGer and supervisory board member Paul Muchene passed away and are still in shock and disbelief. Paul was an incredible human. He was dedicated to make this world a better functioning, fairer and equitable place. He was passionate about the digital infrastructures needed to create a better future for all. Paul was driven by wanting to understand the past, the present and the future and the interest to share this knowledge and make it accessible. He always asked questions, clarifying questions, thought provoking questions, questions that would advance the conversation. Paul was an invaluable member of our global community, a community we often think of as an extended family. We feel like we have lost a dear family member. We cannot imagine what meetings and gatherings will look like without Paul’s curiosity, caring and dedication. We are all big fans of Paul’s and Paul was a fan of GIGs, he help make and shape this global community of ours to what it is today. As a founding member of our NGO, he helped design and implement our governance structures, he made sure the organisation was running well and was always available to give advice where needed. He was also always around for a joke, a reflection, an exchange of warmness and kindness. Paul was present. We cannot believe he no longer will be. Our thoughts and condolences are with Paul’s family, friends and loved ones, he will be forever missed and the Internet and real world a bleaker place without him.
