Hey guys,

I know that there is AFRINIC election on you mind, but - we are going to submit Dave Taht's nomination for Jonathan B. Postel Service Award, ASAP.

Dave's work on many important algorithms that are making our lives on the Internet better today was profound and his sudden departure hit the whole bufferbloat / open source community hard.

If you feel like co-signing it, I would be thankful.

Best of luck with the election. May it finally bring some reason and stability to AFRINIC.

All the best,

Frank
