Nominations solicited: 2023 Rob Blokzijl Award
Dear all - Now that summer break and vacation time are nearing their end and many of you have already returned to work or will do so soon, I would like to take the opportunity to make you aware that the nomination phase for the Rob Blokzijl Award is now open. It is to be awarded in November at the RIPE 87 meeting in Rome to an individual who has made an outstanding technical or operational contribution to Internet development in the RIPE region. Ideally, the person has also enabled and supported third parties in this regard. I therefore would like to urge everyone here to check out the further details of the call for nominations at: https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2023/08/08/call-for-nominations-2023-awa... and to consider whom they could or would like to nominate - several nominations per nominator are also welcome, of course. The committee (https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2023/06/01/2023-award-committee-2/) invites suggestions to be sent to: <nominations@rob-blokzijl-foundation.org> The deadline for submissions is October 29, 2023, 23:59 UTC. Best regards -C. (for the "2023 Rob Blokzijl Award" committee - #RobBlokzijlAward)

It's a bit hidden... Wilfried Wöber was the first awardee in 2018 (https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2018/05/). And Gert Döring the second in 2022 (https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2022/05/). And no - there is no such 'conditio sine qua non' to have the German umlaut "ö" in your last name! ;-) Cheers, -C.
Carsten So it wasn’t awarded between 2018 and 2022?

no. I'm not on the foundation's board - but Corona and even just a small award ceremony didn't go well together, me thinks. Best, -C.

For anyone used to the American language meaning of "next Xday", the 29th is coming Sunday, not Sunday next week. Constant source of confusion between me and my (American) wife.... :) Julf
