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.

Dear Colleagues,

It is with an enormous sense of loss that we heard the sad news concerning
our dear colleague and friend, Werner Gurtner.

Werner contributed greatly to the IGS over many years, always with clear
objectives and sharp technical insight. His role in creating and evolving
RINEX for the IGS and the users of GNSS is a legacy that will live on for
many years. He was also instrumental in the establishment of the IGS website
in the early 1990's, working at the Central Bureau at JPL and introducing the
IGS as an early presence on the world wide web. He was an important link
between the GNSS and SLR communities, a link from which the Galileo project
was able to benefit.

Werner will be remembered for a very long time and sadly missed. On behalf of
the IGS Governing Board, the IGS Central Bureau and the IGS Associates, our
sincere sympathies are extended to his wife Christine, his family, and close
colleagues at the University of Bern and beyond.

Yours sincerely,
John M. Dow and Ruth E. Neilan
