In this issue there are three personal essays in honour of Elinor Ostrom. Current IASC president Leticia Merino opens the issue with her reflections on how reading Lin’s work gave her hope – and highlights how her continued work on the commons honors Lin’s legacy.

An essay by Ganesh Shivakoti follows with his own description of his and Lin’s collaboration and experiences in Nepalese irrigation management as well as his view of her pioneering work.

The issue closes with an essay by Barbara Allen which provides an enlightening perspective into Lin’s history and work.

All of the authors express their loss and comment on how we can honor Lin by passing her lessons on to the next generation of researchers and practitioners. Lin is greatly missed.
