Dear colleagues,

To celebrate the memory of Rob Blokzijl, Internet pioneer, founder and
Chair of RIPE for 25 years, the Rob Blokzijl Foundation is pleased to
invite nominations for the 2018 Rob Blokzijl Award.

We will announce the recipient of the award during the RIPE 76 meeting
in May 2018. The recipient will be a living person who has made
substantial and sustained technical or operational contributions to the
development of the Internet in the RIPE NCC service region.

We specifically seek nominations of individuals who, in addition to
their own contributions, have also supported and enabled others anywhere
in the world.

You can find more information on the nomination and selection procedure
