# Gert Döring Receives 2022 Rob Blokzijl Award

On Thursday 19 May at RIPE 84 in Berlin, Gert Döring received the Rob 
Blokzijl Award for his long-standing contribution to the Address Policy 
Working Group and the RIPE community and for his work to promote IPv6.

The award honours the memory of Rob Blokzijl, the first Chair of RIPE. 
It recognises individuals who have made substantial technical and 
operational contributions to the development of the Internet in the RIPE 
NCC service region and supported or enabled others.

Since the beginning of his career, Gert has been sharing knowledge, 
connecting people, building consensus and helping others to contribute 
and succeed. He is a role model for working group chairs around the 
globe.

Together with the award, Gert receives EUR 10,000 from the Foundation, 
and has offered to donate part of this sum to buy a fibre optic splicer 
to help rebuild networks in Ukraine, with the Foundation making up the 
remainder.

Niall O’Reilly
On behalf of the Board of the Rob Blokzijl Foundation
