The Internet Society (ISOC) a 501c(3) corporation, has agreed to accept a restricted
donation from an anonymous source to be known as the "Postel Network Operator's Scholarship."
The Scholarship will be awarded annually to a recipient selected jointly by the Steering Committee of
NANOG
and the Board of Trustees of
ARIN.
2009 Postel Network Operator's Scholarship
The award is intended to enable a deserving network operator who would not otherwise be able to attend the Joint Meeting to do so, and
whose attendance at the Joint Meeting will continue to build on the legacy of Jon's lifetime contribution to the Internet.
Applications from qualified individuals are now being accepted. The deadline for application is 23:59:59 UTC on 1 June 2009, and the awardees will be informed by early July 2009.
The NANOG SC has an open and public application process, see "Nomination Information" below. The NANOG SC, in cooperation with the ARIN BoT,
will "whimsically" select the annual recipient. There are no criteria or restrictions or other requirements, including but not limited
to nationality, location, age, or gender.
At its option, the Internet Society may increase or decrease the number of recipients each year based on the current state of the Scholarship
Fund, and the variable costs of travel and accommodation.
