We at CORE were deeply saddened to hear of Jon's
death.
Jon Postel's passing is a loss of extraordinary proportions. His
vision of a
world drawn together through a vast common communications network
has
become a reality, and his genius and leadership were the key to
its
realization.
Jon's legacy is a proud one, but his work
remains unfinished. His star,
which shone so brightly while he was
among us, now hangs like a beacon on the
horizon. We must recommit
ourselves to follow his unerring sense of
direction. We have lost the
visionary, but we can not lose the vision.
Jon listened to all, he carefully weighed every voice and concern, and
helped us develop and choose a path for a new organization that preserves and
expands the integrity and stability of the Internet for the future.
We at CORE stand ready to help assure that Jon's work, and, truly, all our
work, has not been in vain.
