Subject: Werner Gurtner

We are very sad to inform you that our colleague Werner
Gurtner passed away on Saturday, October 24, 2009 after
a long illness. Werner was the chair of the ILRS Governing
Board since 2002 and one of the founding members of the
IGS. He was responsible for the development of the SLR
station at Zimmerwald. Werner was also a key author of
the RINEX format which he continued to work on until very
recently. He will be greatly missed by the global geodetic
community.

Mike and Carey.
