[Starlink] Re: Please, co-sign Dave Taht's nomination for Jonathan B. Postel Service Award

[Frantisek Borsik <frantisek.borsik@gmail.com>]

Hello to all,

Vint has submitted Dave's nomination and we are appreciating it.

I will quote from my letter of recommendation that was submitted with the
nomination:

>

*Thank you very much to all of you for supporting Dave's nomination as well
as for all your work on fixing bufferbloat over the years. There is a lot
of work in front of us, but we will make Dave proud. *

I hope that The Internet Society will do the right thing. And will follow
up with another good decision, when Dave's nomination to The Internet Hall
of Fame will be submitted. Next year, if I'm not mistaken.

All the best,

Frank

Frantisek (Frank) Borsik
