<P><FONT size=2>Urgent reminder - Please send us your chapter's
email<BR>congratulations for Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn as soon as<BR>possible to
info@dcisoc.org, please also copy to<BR>cerf-kahn@gainesgroup.com.<BR><BR>I have
not been able to contact a number of ISOC chapters.<BR>Please check that your
chapter has sent an email for the<BR>event, assuming you wish to do so.
All are welcome to<BR>send an email, for your chapter or as an
individual.<BR><BR>Thanks. Gene Gaines<BR><BR>Details below.<BR><BR><BR>A
number of ISOC Chapters are coming together to honor Vint<BR>Cerf and Bob Kahn
on the occasion of their winning the important<BR>ACM Turing Award.<BR><BR>Both
men are members of our local Washington DC ISOC Chapter,<BR>so our Chapter has
volunteered to host the event.<BR><BR>It will take place the evening of Tuesday,
May 10, 2005 from<BR>7:00 - 9:30 p.m. Eastern US time (11:00 p.m. - 1:30 a.m.
UMT).<BR><BR>The meeting announcement is below.<BR><BR>I am inviting your
Chapter to participate in the evening.<BR><BR>1) We hope that your Chapter will
be able to send us an email<BR> that we can present to Vint and Bob during
the evening --<BR> to be one of many chapters that will be sending good
wishes,<BR> congratulations, and possibly to thank them for all the
work<BR> they have contributed to ISOC and to ISOC Chapters in
many<BR> countries.<BR><BR> We expect to print and bind these
emails, and give copies to<BR> Vint and Bob to remember the
evening.<BR><BR> If you are able to send such an email, please let me
know<BR> that you plan to do so. Just hit REPLY and tell me
your<BR> intentions, and email your message in the next 24 hours
to:<BR> info@dcisoc.org, please also copy
cerf-kahn@gainesgroup.com.<BR><BR>2) If you are interested, we can set up a
freeze-frame video,<BR> instant messaging or voice connection for you to
come in<BR> during the meeting and give your greetings to Vint and
Bob<BR> live over the Internet, as a number of chapters plan to
do.<BR><BR> Please let me know if you wish to arrange this, just a
REPLY<BR> to this email will do, and I then will contact you.<BR><BR>Sorry
for such short notice. This is the only date that we can<BR>arrange in the
next several months that both Vint and Bob can<BR>attend.<BR><BR>The
announcement we sent out for the evening is below.<BR><BR>Please

active, learning more about each other, and in<BR>cooperating together to mutual
benefit.<BR><BR>Gene Gaines<BR>Vice President,

Bob Kahn<BR><BR>Date: Tuesday, May 10, 2005, 7 - 9:30
p.m.<BR>Where: Booz Allen World Headquarters, McLean,
Virginia<BR>Host: DCISOC - Washington DC Chapter of the Internet
Society<BR><BR>Our own Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf, as you probably know, have
been<BR>named winners of the Association for Computing Machinery's
annual<BR>Turing Award.<BR><BR>The ACM (www.acm.org) is recognized as the
premier organization<BR>for computing professionals, and its Turing Award has
honored<BR>the computer scientists and engineers who created the systems<BR>and
underlying theoretical foundations that have propelled the<BR>information
technology industry.<BR><BR>The Turing Award will be presented at the ACM Awards
Banquet in<BR>San Francisco, in June.<BR><BR>We're proud of this further
recognition for the pioneering<BR>efforts of Vint and Bob. Since we all can't
get to the ACM<BR>meeting in San Francisco, the chapter will hold a meeting
to<BR>express our gratitude for everything Bob and Vint have done,<BR>not just
for the industry but for ISOC as well.<BR><BR>The evening will start with a
social hour, with time to say<BR>hello to Vint and Bob. Several speakers
(including Dennis<BR>Doughty, President, Booz-Allen-Hamilton Worldwide
Technology<BR>Business) will touch briefly on the differences the
Internet<BR>has brought to the world. Internet pioneer Steve Crocker will<BR>ask
Bob and Vint to share their thoughts, looking back on<BR>three decades of
remarkable change and to the future.<BR><BR>We will have available replica
copies of historical (Internet)<BR>documents which Vint and Bob may be so kind
as to autograph for<BR>us.<BR><BR>During the evening, leaders of ISOC chapters
around the world<BR>will be joining the meeting via the Internet to
congratulate<BR>Vint and Bob, and thank the two for their key roles in the
start<BR>and growth of the Internet, as well as in creating ISOC.<BR><BR>To
attend, please R.S.V.P. to info@dcisoc.org. We need to give<BR>Booz Allen a
count of the expected number of attendees, as they<BR>graciously will be
providing refreshments.<BR><BR>Date: May 10th
