[ESIP-all] [esdswg] [socop-forum] RIP Rob Raskin, 1957-2012

[Kamel Didan]

Dear colleagues and friends of Rob,

My condolences go to all of you, especially Rob's family and loved ones.
I've met Rob few times at various workshops and meetings and feel
terrible about this loss.

He will indeed be missed.
