<DIV><SPAN>Dear all,</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>I join you in congratulating Pierre on his receipt of this prestigious award! This is a great achievement for him, and testimony to the superb work he's been doing all these years with and for the community. By the way, I also saw him on TV a month or two ago (on France 24 I think) in a program about the late Thomas Sankara. I never knew he on the frontline with Sankara! Again, Pierre, congratulations, and best wishes!</SPAN></DIV>

Postel Service Award<BR><BR>Internet Society recognizes his extensive work in advancing the<BR>Internet in Africa<BR><BR>[Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 01 August 2012] -- The Internet<BR>Society today announced that its prestigious Jonathan B. Postel<BR>Service Award was presented to Pierre Ouedraogo for his exceptional<BR>contributions to the growth and vitality of the Internet in Africa.<BR>The international award committee, comprised of former Jonathan B.<BR>Postel award winners, noted that Mr. Ouedraogo played a significant<BR>role in the growth of the Internet in Africa and demonstrated an<BR>extraordinary commitment to training young engineers and participating<BR>in regional Internet organizations.<BR><BR>Mr. Ouedraogo is the Director of Digital Francophonie at Organisation<BR>Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) based in Paris, France. Over<BR>the years, he has established networks of IT experts to coordinate<BR>African efforts to develop IT and use it as a tool for development.<BR>Mr. Ouedraogo initiated many IT technical workshops in Africa and is a<BR>founding member of numerous African regional organizations, including<BR>AfriNIC (the African Internet Registry for IP addresses); AfTLD<BR>(African Internet Top Level Domain Names Association); AFNOG (African<BR>network operators group); AfCERT (African CERT network), and AfrICANN<BR>(African network of participants to the ICANN process).<BR><BR>“Pierre Ouedraogo is a highly-regarded technical leader in Africa, and<BR>he has been instrumental in bringing the Internet to Burkina Faso as<BR>well as other French-speaking African countries,” said Lynn St. Amour,<BR>President and Chief Executive Officer of the Internet Society. “His<BR>commitment to the expansion of the Internet and encouragement of young<BR>engineers to help them build their skills through training workshops<BR>has had a profound impact on the growth of the Internet across<BR>Africa.”<BR><BR>The Postel Award was established by the Internet Society to honour<BR>individuals or organisations that, like Jon Postel, have made<BR>outstanding contributions in service to the data communications<BR>community. The committee places particular emphasis on candidates who<BR>have supported and enabled others in addition to their own specific<BR>actions. The award is focused on sustained and substantial technical<BR>contributions, service to the community, and leadership.<BR><BR>The Internet Society presented the award, including a US$20,000<BR>honorarium and a crystal engraved globe, during the 84th meeting of<BR>the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) held in Vancouver, British<BR>Columbia, Canada, July 29 - August 3, 2012.<BR><BR>Link: http://www.internetsociety.org/news/pierre-ouedraogo-technical-leader-africa-receives-2012-jonathan-b-postel-service-award<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>To manage your ISOC subscriptions or unsubscribe,<BR>please log into the ISOC Member Portal:<BR><A href="http://webmail.onatel.bf/redir.hsp?url=https%3A%2F%2Fportal.isoc.org%2F" target=_blank>https://portal.isoc.org/</A><BR>Then choose Interests & Subscriptions from the My Account menu.<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>AfrICANN mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:AfrICANN@afrinic.net" ymailto="mailto:AfrICANN@afrinic.net">AfrICANN@afrinic.net</A><BR><A href="http://webmail.onatel.bf/redir.hsp?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.afrinic.net%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo.cgi%2Fafricann" target=_blank>https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/africann</A><BR><BR><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV>_______________________________________________<BR>AfrICANN mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:AfrICANN@afrinic.net" target=_blank>AfrICANN@afrinic.net</A><BR><A href="http://webmail.onatel.bf/redir.hsp?url=%68%74%74%70%73%3A%2F%2F%6C%69%73%74%73%2E%61%66%72%69%6E%69%63%2E%6E%65%74%2F%6D%61%69%6C%6D%61%6E%2F%6C%69%73%74%69%6E%66%6F%2E%63%67%69%2F%61%66%72%69%63%61%6E%6E" target=_blank>https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/africann</A><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></body></html>
