Montevideo October 31st.- Ten personalities who during the past decade have contributed to the development of the Internet in Latin America and the Caribbean were honored today with the 2012 Outstanding Achievement Award presented by the Regional Internet Registry, LACNIC. For the first time in the history of the Award, ten leaders of the regional Internet community were honored simultaneously for their sustained and significant contribution in benefit of the development of the Information Society in Latin America and the Caribbean. The honorees come from different areas and represent every region of the continent: Valeria Betancourt (Ecuador), Luis Furlán (Guatemala), Marcos Galperín (Argentina), Demi Getschko (Brazil), Anthony Harris (Argentina), Bernadette Lewis (Trinidad and Tobago), Ben Petrazzini (Argentina), Loretta Simon (Grenada), José Soriano (Peru), and Edmundo Vitale (Venezuela). Recipients of the 2012 Outstanding Achievement Award were presented with their awards during a moving ceremony that took place within the framework of the LACNIC 18 meeting, which marks the tenth anniversary of the creation of the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for Latin America and the Caribbean. LACNIC's Board of Directors believes it is important to honor these ten individuals for their longstanding, dedicated efforts towards the development of the Internet and for the example they set to the rest of the community. The honorees have distinguished themselves through their contribution to private endeavors, their work with civil society, the promotion of public Internet policies, research and academic papers related to the Information Society, community building, infrastructure development, and technical advances. _______________________________________________ lac-discuss-en mailing list lac-discuss-en@atlarge-lists.icann.org<mailto:lac-discuss-en@atlarge-lists.icann.org> https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/lac-discuss-en You are receiving this message because you are a member of the community Caribbean ICT stakeholders Virtual Community (CIVIC)<http://dgroups.org/groups/civic>.
