Googlers receive prestigious ITOJUN Service Award
November 11, 2009
Googlers Lorenzo Colitti and Erik Kline have
received
the
ITOJUN Service Award
while attending the 76th Internet Engineering Task Force meeting in Hiroshima, Japan.
The Itojun Service Award honors the memory of Dr. Jun-ichiro "itojun" Hagino, who passed away in 2007 at the age of 37. The friends of itojun and the
Internet Society
(ISOC) came together to establish this award last year. The award recognizes and commemorates the extraordinary dedication exercised by itojun over the course of
IPv6
development.
Lorenzo and Erik have been the spark plugs and workhorses of Google's
implementation
of the IPv6 protocol that will help to carry the Internet beyond the anticipated exhaustion of the IPv4 address space in mid-2011. The two undertook, at their own initiative, to analyze the requirements and begin implementation of IPv6 throughout our networking infrastructure. Their leadership has placed us in the forward ranks of companies prepared for this important expansion. They are role models for others around the world, in the spirit of Itojun Hagino who was, himself, a model leader in this domain.
We're all proud to be associated with Lorenzo, Erik and the others at Google who recognized this challenge and took it head on.
