Inaugural inductees (2012)

The Internet Hall of Fame (est. 2012) is an honorary lifetime achievement award administered by the Internet Society (ISOC) in recognition of individuals who have made significant contributions to the development and advancement of the Internet.[1] Inductees include Vint Cerf, Tim Berners-Lee and Linus Torvalds.

Overview

The Internet Hall of Fame was established in 2012, on the 20th anniversary of ISOC.[2] Its stated purpose is to "publicly recognize a distinguished and select group of visionaries, leaders and luminaries who have made significant contributions to the development and advancement of the global Internet".[1]

Nominations may be made by anyone through an applications process. The Internet Hall of Fame Advisory Board is responsible for the final selection of inductees.[1] The advisory board is made up of well known professionals in the Internet industry.[3]

Inductees

Inductees are considered in three categories:

  • Pioneers: "Individuals who were instrumental in the early design and development of the Internet."
  • Global Connectors: "Individuals who made outstanding technological, commercial, or policy advances and helped to expand the Internet's reach."
  • Innovators: "Individuals from around the world who have made significant contributions to the global growth and use of the Internet."

In 2012, there were 33 inaugural inductees into the Hall of Fame, announced on April 23, 2012 at the Internet Society’s Global INET conference in Geneva, Switzerland.[4][5][6]

In 2013 there were 32 inductees.
