<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> Hi all, a reminder that the nominations period for the Rob Blokzijl Award 2022 remains open until 18th March at 23:59 UTC. Please give some consideration to nominating someone in your own community and/or the wider industry in the RIPE region who, in your opinion, deserves to be recognised for their work to make the internet and/or internet community better. <a href="https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2021/11/22/2022-award-committee/">The Award Committee</a> are particularly interested to receive nominations of individuals who, in addition to their own contributions have also supported and enabled others anywhere in the world. That may have been discreetly behind the scenes or as the fundamental part of a larger team effort but deserves recognition in your opinion. While you might think your choice may not be the overall winner, please do take the time to nominate them and share with the Award Committee what good you see they have done and what they have achieved either in their local community, the RIPE community or across the world. For the person nominated, it may be a wonderful boost and after all these months (years) of not seeing people at events, it's a nice gesture to let them know you believe they should be considered for this great award and you never know! We are looking forward to reading their stories.
