From: Brian Carpenter CERN-CN <brian () dxcoms cern ch> I'm pleased to inform you that on Saturday 7 October 1995, during the Internet@Telecom95 Forum organised by the ITU, Dr Pekka Tarjanne (Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union) presented the ITU Silver Medal to Dr Vinton G Cerf, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the development of the Internet. Vint Cerf accepted the medal on behalf of the thousands of people who have worked to build the Internet. The ITU Medal is generally reserved for Heads of State. The present and immediate past IAB chairs attended the presentation of the medal. Incidentally, about 2000 people attended the Internet@Telecom95 Forum. Its proceedings will be available shortly via http://www.itu.ch/TELECOM//forumis.html
