    On behalf of IT Standards Committee, Singapore, I'd like to extend
    the following message to the UBL community:
    
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Dear Mr Bosak & UBL TC,
    
    We join the UBL community in your grief of the passing of Mike, and on
    behalf of the IT Standards Committee, extend our heartfelt condelences to
    members of the bereaved family.
    
    Sincerely

    Personally, it was only as recent as a week ago that I was having
    some discussions with Mike on email on the LCSC list.  Though my
    interactions with him has been brief, I'm truly sorry to hear of
    the tragic event.  We'll miss Mike, and may his family live on
    with strength.
    
    
    Best Regards,
