Hi folks,
Here are several more statements about Lin, including our statement from
the International Association for the Study of the Commons, and the more
detailed biography that was published on the Nobel web site.

Even those who knew about the cancer were expecting a better prognosis, so
this was a very difficult blow, with little warning. Lin gave a keynote
address at a major event in Mexico City just a month ago, and spoke with
strength and energy at both her own talk and round tables afterward
(available on film -- the IASC link above connects to some of these). She
was planning on events in Utrecht later this summer, UNC, Duke, and
Charlottesville in September, and of course she had the big IASC meeting in
Japan (on the North Fuji commons itself) in June 2013 on her calendar also
-- see<http://www.iasc2013.org/en/> Now Utrecht and Kitafuji will involve
tributes to her memory and legacy.

Tomoya Akimichi)
