In addition to being a most gracious and endearing person who touched and motivated so many people's lives and careers in this field around the world, she significantly shaped the universe of cyberspace policy and was - perhaps more than any other person - the founding visionary of the entire domain of the law of global networks through her decades of work and leadership. Lewis advises that notes to the family can be sent to <ABranscomb () aol com> Some brief biographical information about this extraordinary woman's life can be found at <http://www.ngi.org/AWB/> Harvard University is expected to put up a more extensive site shortly. -amr ************************************************************************ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Ben Franklin, ~1784 ************************************************************************
