About the Award

The Jonathan B. Postel Service Award was established by the Internet
Society
to honor people who have 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 committee places particular
emphasis on candidates who have supported and enabled others in addition to
their own specific actions.

The award is named after Dr. Jonathan B. Postel, who exhibited all of these
qualities during his extraordinary stewardship 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, where he also
served as a Trustee.
