[dns-wg] Last call and final reminder for nominations to the 2022 Rob Blokzijl Award

[Apologies for cross-posting to various RIPE lists]

Dear DNS WG members -

this is the last call and final reminder for nominations to the 2022 Rob 
Blokzijl Award that will be accepted until this Friday, 18th March, at 
23:59 UTC.

In seeking nominations for this prestigious award, which was created to 
celebrate Rob's contributions to the development of the Internet, the 
Award Committee 
(https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2021/11/22/2022-award-committee/) 
is interested to receive nominations of those who have reflected Rob's 
approach in either a technical or operational capacity.

Please give some consideration to nominating individuals - but also 
teams and groups of people! - in your own community and/or the wider 
industry in the RIPE region who, in your opinion, deserve to be 
recognised for their work to make the internet and/or internet community 
better.

To specifically have this emphasised again after some according queries: 
nominations of teams and groups of people are very well possible and 
wished for as well in case their collective work would match the 
criteria of the call as laid out!

The Award Committee is particularly interested to receive nominations of 
contributors who, in addition to their own contributions, have also 
supported and enabled others anywhere in the world.

Also, the Award Committee would like to encourage those making 
nominations to consider not only the community members in the later 
stages of their careers or who are widely known but also those who may 
have contributed greatly in the springtime of their career or discreetly 
for the greater good or who may be considered to be part of an 
unrepresented group.

And last but not least: those of you who previously have made a 
nomination other than Wilfried Woeber, the 2018 awardee, may want to 
consider resubmitting a nomination.

The complete details of the call and the nomination process can be found at:

Best wishes and kind regards

Carsten (on behalf of the Award Committee)
