The Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP) is awarded for recent results in applied networking research that are relevant for transitioning into shipping Internet products and related standardization efforts. Established in 2011, it has been awarded four times, twice for IETF-81 and twice for IETF-82. See http://irtf.org/anrp for more information.

Going forward, the ANRP selection committee has decided to move from a nomination/selection cycle per IETF meeting to a *yearly* nomination/selection cycle covering all of a year's IETF meetings. This change will not affect the number of ANRPs awarded (roughly one award per IETF meeting) and awardees can state a preference as to which IETF meeting during a given year they'd like to present at.

The nomination/selection cycle for a given year will occur during the fall of the previous year, ending before the winter holiday period. This means that for 2013, the nomination/selection cycle will occur during the fall of 2012, covering all three IETF meetings in 2013.

Consequently, the nomination/award schedule for 2012 will be adjusted as follows:

- No ANRPs will be awarded for IETF-83 in Paris, due to the holiday
 season and short time since the last IETF meeting.

- A nomination/selection cycle to pick awardees for the two remaining
 IETF meetings in 2012 (IETF-84 in Vancouver and IETF-85 in Atlanta)
 will be held before IETF-84.

The call-for-nominations for the 2012 selection cycle will be announced on the IRTF announcement mailing list (http://irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/irtf-announce) in a few weeks.
