The Lonnie Borck Memorial Award honors was established to honor someone who has made “an exceptional contribution to fostering a sense of community within the domain name industry.” The award was established to honor the memory of Lonnie Borck, a domain investor and friend of mine who passed away in 2016.

The Internet Commerce Association will be awarding this year’s award in person at NamesCon. The ICA has opened the nomination process for this year’s Award, and any member of the domain name industry can submit a nomination. ICA Members will then elect the top three candidates, and the winner will be chosen from the top three by the ICA Board.

Past winners of the Lonnie Borck Memorial Award are:

• David Weslow
• Kathy Kleiman
• John Berryhill
• Ron Jackson
• Michael Cyger

If you would like to submit a nomination for this year’s Award, you may do so now.
