Dear colleagues,

We were all very saddened yesterday to learn that Fearghas McKay had 
passed away while attending a conference. No doubt this will come as a 
shock to his family and those of us who knew him from his work in the 
community.

Fearghas has been an active participant in the RIPE community for many 
years. He served as Chair of the EIX Working Group from 1998-2013, and 
has been a part of programme committees and steering groups for a number 
of Network Operator Groups and peering forums, including AfPIF, CAPIF 
and UKNOF, often taking the role of co-chair within these groups. He was 
also a RIPE Atlas Ambassador for several years, helping to introduce 
Internet measurements to network operators around the world.

His contributions have helped shape the RIPE community and the 
interconnection world more broadly. We will miss his energy, his humour, 
and his friendship.

On behalf of the RIPE community we wish to extend our condolences to 
Fearghas’s family and friends.

Kind regards,
Mirjam Kühne
RIPE Chair
