I feel very honored to have been awarded by the Internet Society the 
John Postel Service award, for outstanding and sustained contributions 
in service to the Internet community, yesterday at the IETF meeting in 
London. The award highlighted the special role and importance of the 
network technology workshops for people from developing countries that I 
led and that ISOC supported during 1993-2001. In connection with those 
workshops, it is also important to recognize the essential role of the 
volunteers who made these workshops possible and who enabled us to train 
in Internet technology about 1500 participants from almost all 
developing countries. During that time, the Society's yearly INET 
conferences were at the center of knowledge about the global Internet, 
and the workshops were organized in conjunction with them, providing 
workshop participants the opportunity to not only learn about and 
practice using the technology but also to meet key Internet leaders and 
establish worldwide professional connections. ISOC's consistent motto 
has been, "The Internet is for everyone," and I feel very grateful that 
we had the opportunity to make a significant move toward that objective 
for a large and important part of our world.
