>> Subject: The Postel Network Operator's Scholarship
>>
>> The Internet Society (ISOC) a 501c(3) corporation (http://
>> www.isoc.org/isoc/general/trustees/incorp.shtml), 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 by a
>> "Selection Committee" consisting of a representative of the then
>> serving Board of ARIN (The American Registry of Internet Numbers -
>> http://www.arin.net) and a representative of the then serving
>> Steering Committee of NANOG (The North American Network Operator's
>> Group - http://www.nanog.org).
>>
>> 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.
>>
>> The Selection Committee will develop an open and public application
>> process, and will "whimsically" select the annual recipient
>> exclusively in response to the question: "What Would Jon Do?" if he
>> were asked to select a recipient. There are no criteria or
>> restrictions or other requirements, including but not limited to
>> nationality, location, age, or gender.
>>
>> The scholarship will cover the costs of travel from the recipient's
>> home city to the Joint Meeting.  It will also cover the costs of
>> Hotel accommodation at the Conference Hotel.  It will include a daily
>> stipend for food, beverages, and incidentals.  It is expected that
>> the attendence fee for the meetings will be waived by ARIN and NANOG.
>>
>> The membership of the Selection Committee shall not be changed except
>> in the event that the membership of either the Board (in the case of
>> ARIN) or the Steering Committee (in the case of NANOG) ceases to be
>> based on the popular vote of the community each serve; in which case
>> the member whose process changes will be replaced by a similar body
>> that is based on the popular vote of the community that was served by
>> the ineligible member, and which will be appointed at the sole
>> discretion of the Board of Trustees of the Internet Society, and
>> under the same terms as the initial Selection Committee.
>>
>> 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.
