[IRPCoalition] [GenderDC] [bestbits] in memory of Heike Jensen

[Jac Sm Kee]

Hi Bill,

We are going to do a special edition of GenderIT dedicated to Heike's work, so if you can send the writing on as a contribution to this, that would be really great. 

Much thanks,
Jac

Heike was a stalwart of Giganet, the Gender DC and other civil society work at the IGF, and the GigaNET community in the crucial early years. Her involvement and contribution goes back to the WSIS e.g. Heike contributed to the Joergensen edited volume (2006) on Human Rights in the Global Information Society, reporting for Freedom House and others and being part of IGF meetings through       the Gender DC and Giganet symposia.
