It is with great sorrow that we announce the sudden death, last March 25, of Philippe Amouroux, who was 51.

Philippe played a crucial role in the Alliance. It was he who coordinated the debate on the Constituent Charter in 2005. He facilitated all the technological and methodological work on the development of tools for the Alliance: data bases, forums, etc.

Finally and above all, he coordinated the great diversity of workshops of the Workgroup on Solidarity Socio-Economy.

He had also organized, in 2004, the massive participation of Allies at the World Social Forum of Mumbai. His passing is an enormous loss for the Alliance.

A ceremony in his honor will be held on Thursday, April 6 in the offices of the Charles Léopold Mayer Foundation for the Progress of Humankind, 38 rue Saint-Sabin, 75011 Paris.
