The Internet Commerce Association (ICA) is now accepting nominations for two domain investing community awards. Domain investors may now submit their nominations for the 2026 Lonnie Borck Memorial Award and the Trailblazer Award.
The Lonnie Borck Memorial Award was named in memory of one of my closest business friends, Lonnie Borck, who passed away at 47 years old in 2016. The award is given to an individual who helps “build a stronger, more connected community.” Lonnie was someone with many friends in this business, and it was always great spending time with him at various conferences and elsewhere. Five of us still have a weekly text message chain we’ve kept going for many years in Lonnie’s memory and honor.
