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.
