[Washington, D.C. and Geneva, Switzerland -- 26 June 2013]  The Internet
Society today announced the names of the 32 individuals who have been
selected for induction into the Internet Hall of Fame. Honored for their
groundbreaking contributions to the global Internet, this year's
inductees comprise some of the world's most influential engineers,
activists, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

 

The Internet Hall of Fame celebrates Internet visionaries, innovators,
and leaders from around the world who believed in the design and
potential of an open Internet and, through their work, helped change the
way we live and work today. 

 

The 2013 Internet Hall of Fame inductees are:

 

Pioneers Circle -- Recognizing individuals who were instrumental in the
early design and development of the Internet:

 

David Clark, David Farber, Howard Frank, Kanchana Kanchanasut, J.C.R.
Licklider (posthumous), Bob Metcalfe, Jun Murai, Kees Neggers, Nii Narku
Quaynor, Glenn Ricart, Robert Taylor, Stephen Wolff, Werner Zorn

 

Innovators -- Recognizing individuals who made outstanding
technological, commercial, or policy advances and helped to expand the
Internet's reach:

 

Marc Andreessen, John Perry Barlow, Anne-Marie Eklund Löwinder, François
Flückiger, Stephen Kent, Henning Schulzrinne, Richard Stallman, Aaron
Swartz (posthumous), Jimmy Wales

 

Global Connectors -- Recognizing individuals from around the world who
have made significant contributions to the global growth and use of the
Internet:

"This year's inductees represent a group of people as diverse and
dynamic as the Internet itself," noted Internet Society President and
CEO Lynn St. Amour. "As some of the world's leading thinkers, these
individuals have pushed the boundaries of technological and social
innovation to connect the world and make it a better place.  Whether
they were instrumental in the Internet's early design, expanding its
global reach, or creating new innovations, we all benefit today from
their dedication and foresight."

Last week, the Internet Society announced plans to change the location
of its 2013 Internet Hall of Fame awards ceremony, originally scheduled
for Istanbul, due to the recent protests and unpredictable environment.
The ceremony is now scheduled for 3 August in Berlin, Germany and will
also be live streamed at
