Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that nominations for the 2022 Jonathan B. Postel Service Award are now open: https://www.internetsociety.org/grants-and-awards/postel-service-award/
Each year, the Internet Society presents the prestigious award to an individual or organization that, like Jon Postel, has made significant contributions in service to the Internet community.
The award commemorates Jon Postel’s extraordinary stewardship in the course of his 30-year career in networking.
The chosen candidate will be presented with a USD20,000 honorarium and the signature crystal engraved globe at a global conference with Internet technical leaders later this year.
Previous award winners include Onno Purbo for making the Internet more affordable in Indonesia’s rural areas, Alain Aina for building technical communities that help to spread the Internet across Africa, Steven Huter for fostering local Internet communities globally and Kimberly Claffy for her contribution to Internet measurement.
Special emphasis is placed on candidates who have supported and enabled others in addition to their own contributions.
Please spread the word by sharing this with your networks.
