Applications are open for the Jonathan B. Postel Service Award 2022. The Award is presented annually to an individual or organization that has made outstanding and sustained contributions in service to the Internet community.

The award is named after Dr. Jonathan B. Postel to recognize and commemorate the extraordinary stewardship he exercised throughout a 30-year career in networking. If there was anyone who truly embodied the spirit of the Internet as a resource to enrich people’s lives, and worked selfishly to make the Internet a place of possibility and opportunity, it was Jonathan Postel.

  • The chosen candidate will be presented with a US$20,000 honorarium and the signature crystal engraved globe at a virtual global conference with Internet technical leaders later this year.

  • The nominator must include specific acts, works, contributions, and other criteria that exemplify how the nominee has been in service of the Internet and its communities along with two references to support the nomination.

Selection Criteria

Technical Contributions

  • Contributions include: developing new protocols, devices, techniques, technical processes, or tools that lead to the growth, usefulness, or strength of the Internet.
  • The candidate has substantially contributed to strengthening, growing, and protecting the Internet. The impact of their work has made the Internet more available and accessible in their region or beyond.

Leadership

The candidate has brought a community together, formed a group, or motivated an existing organization to:

  • Contribute innovations and advance the Internet.
