More About the Award

The Jonathan B. Postel Service Award was established by the Internet Society to
honor a person who has made outstanding contributions in service to the data
communications community. The award is focused on sustained and substantial
technical contributions, service to the community, and leadership. With respect to
leadership, the award committee places particular emphasis on candidates who
have supported and enabled others in addition to their own specific actions.

The award is named for Dr. Jonathan B. Postel to recognize and commemorate
the extraordinary stewardship exercised by Jon over the course of a thirty-year
career in networking. He served as the editor of the RFC series of notes from its
inception in 1969 until 1998. He also served as the ARPANET “numbers Czar”
and Internet Assigned Numbers Authority over the same period of time. He was
a founding member of the Internet Architecture (nee Activities) Board and the first
individual member of the Internet Society, which he also served as a Trustee.
