[Advisors] sad news

[Marita Moll]

I am so sorry to say that Brian Beaton has died. Brian was an active 
member and supporter of TC (Telecommunities Canada) right into early 
this year. I will miss his acute insight and perspectives grounded in 
the community contexts he knew so well. He was a remarkable man who had 
a vision of community-owned infrastructure from early days. I always 
wanted to be a fly on the wall in the National Broadband Taskforce 
discussions. He came out of that with some serious telco/gov't 
contributions to First Nations owned communications networks -- back in 
the late 1990s.

Here are a couple of articles about his life.
