  About the Award
  
  
  
  The Itojun Service Award was launched in 2008 to provide recognition and support for those progressing IPv6 development on the Internet.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The Itojun Service Award honours the memory of Dr. Jun-ichiro "Itojun" Hagino [2], who passed away in 2007, aged just 37. The award, established by the friends of Itojun and administered by the Internet Society (ISOC), recognises and commemorates the extraordinary dedication exercised by Itojun over the course of IPv6 development.
  
  
  
  Itojun worked as a Senior Researcher at the <a href="http://www.iij.ad.jp/ target="blank">Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ), was a member of the board of the Widely Integrated Distributed Environment [3] (WIDE) project, and from 1998 to 2007 served on the groundbreaking KAME project [4] in Japan as the "IPv6 samurai". He was also a member of the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) from 2003 to 2005.
  
  
  
  At the time of his passing, Russ Housley, IETF Chair, and Olaf Kolkman, IAB Chair, issued a joint statement, praising Itojun's service to IPv6 developments, saying that he had "inspired many and will be missed."
  
  
  
  The Itojun Service Award will run for 10 years, presented annually to an individual who has made outstanding contributions in service to the IPv6 community. The award includes a presentation crystal, a US$3,000 honorarium, and a travel grant. The Award will honor an individual who has provided sustained and substantial technical contributions, service to the community, and leadership. With respect to leadership, the selection committee will place particular emphasis on candidates who have supported and enabled others in addition to their own specific actions.
