[ripe-list] Jonathan B. Postel Service Award - Nominations due 2 July

Sehr verehrte Kollegen,

As many of you know the Internet Society makes a yearly award to ‘to 
an individual or organization that has made outstanding and sustained 
contributions in service to the Internet community’. ’The award is 
focused on sustained and substantial technical contributions, service to 
the community, and leadership. Concerning leadership, the nominating 
committee places particular emphasis on candidates who have supported 
and enabled others in their work.’

The most recent recipient of this honour from our region has been our 
former chairman Rob Blokzijl back in 2015. So maybe you can think of 
another worthy person to nominate?

Gruss,

Daniel

PS: On a similar but different note: We have our own RIPE award too and 
plan to present another one at the spring RIPE meeting next year. At the 
moment we are looking for volunteers for the award committee which will 
make the selection. 
https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2021/05/11/2021-award-committee/ . 
We have some volunteers already. However, some younger people outside 
the group of long-timers would be very welcome. If you feel connected to 
RIPE at all, do not hesitate to come forward. There is no requirement 
for grey hair!

PPS: This is worthwhile and interesting work. I find it fascinating to 
learn about ’special’ people and their contributions.
