ICA Accepting Nominations for Lonnie Borck Memorial Award - Winner Will be Honored for Helping Build the Domain Industry Community

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.

The previous winners of the Lonnie Borck Memorial Award were;

2017 - David Weslow
2018 - John Berryhill
2019 - Kathy Kleiman

2020 - Ron Jackson
2021 - Michael Cyger
2022 - Andrew Allemann

In those years the LBMA was presented at the annual Namefest Global conference. The 2023 edition of NamesCon was held last spring but since the ICA has now established a popular stand alone annual meeting for its members, they decided to wait until January to present the next one (hence the 2024 label on the 7th LBMA rather than 2023).
