Dedication to Amy Mahan
Article Type: Dedication to Amy Mahan From: info, Volume 11, Issue 3
It is with great sadness that we announce that Amy Mahan died on 5 March 2009 of cancer at the age of 47. She continued working with a quiet determination until the end. She had recently taken on the role of info’s Book Reviews Editor, and was the principal editor of the special issue on network development published as Vol. 11, No. 2. Sadly she died before it was published, and it is fitting that we dedicate that issue to her memory.
Behind Amy’s charming personality was a person who chose a career path primarily devoted to helping others with her exceptional skills in research support, editing and report presentation. She strongly believed that the weakest link in the research process was effective dissemination. She made major contributions to all the organisations in which she worked, including LIRNE.NET and WDR, CIRCIT, Telecommunications Policy, several university programs and a wide range of independent publications.
This is a tragic loss to family, friends, colleagues, the ICT research community and also to info. She will be missed and remembered warmly.
