Hello All, members of ICWNA

The already very somber news of MH17 being shot down over Ukraine from
Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was intensified as the names and homelands of
many of those killed were slowly being released between last night and this
morning, EDT. Several media sources, including BBC America, World News, and
CNN indicate that up to 100 of those on board were on route to the
International AIDS Conference in Melbourne.


The attached links are two media sources indicating that among the
attendees lost include Dr. Joep Lange, former IAS president and Glenn
Thomas, spokesman from WHO. This must surely be affecting those in
Melbourne. A minutes silence and candlelight vigil was held in Melbourne.

I offer my condolences to all the families and friends of all the
passengers and all those in Melbourne who are friends and colleagues of
those attendees lost.

Best
Karen
