The
Internet
Commerce Association
(ICA), the non-profit organization that fights for
domain owner's rights, is now accepting nominations
for the ICA's 7th annual Lonnie
Borck Memorial Award (LBMA). The
prestigious award was first presented in 2017 in
memory of the late universally loved domain
advocate Lonnie
Borck. In
the LBMA's first three years its recipients were
chosen based on their "exceptional efforts in
championing the rights of domain name
registrants" and went to industry leaders
from the legal arena. Starting with the 2020
award, the criteria was broadened to include every
corner of the domain industry with the guiding
principal being to recognize a person who has made
"extraordinary contributions toward fostering
a sense of community within the domain name
industry." Everyone
in the industry (whether they are an ICA
member or not) is welcome to submit
a nomination for the 2024 Lonnie
Borck Award that will be presented at the
ICA's next Annual
Meeting that will be held January
17-20, 2024 at Resorts World in Las
Vegas. Nominations will remain open through
the end of October. The ICA Board will then
review and approve nominees with ICA members then
voting to select the winner. |
