> Dear Members of the International Council of Environmental Law,
>  
> It is with profound sadness that I advise you that our friend, and the Executive Governor of ICEL, Dr.  Wolfgang E. Burhenne, has died. He passed peacefully in his home in Germany with his daughter and her family, on January 6, 2017. The family is preparing an Obituary, and will hold a memorial celebration of his life and work in the coming months in Bonn,  Germany.
>  
> The Memorial from ICEL is attached. Please share it with your colleagues and friends, so that we may honor the life and work of Wolfgang Burhenne. ICEL invites you to translate this memorial and publish it in different countries as you deem appropriate.
>  
> Before he died, as his health failed, Wolfgang resigned from his positon as Executive Governor of ICEL, and the governors, who are holding life-time terms of office, are now sorting out how ICEL shall continue with its work. If you wish to share views on ICEL, please do not hesitate to contact me.
