Extract from a TBL email: It is with tremendous sorrow that we share the news that our great friend, colleague, and mentor Alan Kotok has passed away. He died peacefully in his sleep over the US Memorial Day weekend. Alan held a wide range of roles at W3C. He carried the title of Associate Chairman, but he also served as the MIT site manager, managed the Systems Team, and worked closely with the Advisory Board. His contributions to membership and financial issues were highly valued. The W3C Team and our organization was immeasurably better for his presence. We will all miss him for who he was, and all that he achieved.
