IPv4.Global Announces Vancouver Good Netizen Award FinalistsNEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- IPv4.Global, an operating unit of Hilco Streambank, today announces the finalists for the next IPv4.Global Good Netizen Awards, which will coincide with the Vancouver, B.C. meetings of NANOG 74 taking place October 1-3, and ARIN 42 taking place October 4-5. Award finalists include BC Technology for Learning Society, Free Geek Vancouver, First Nations Technology Council and The Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST). The first and second place finishers will receive financial contributions from IPv4.Global in support of their continued efforts. Supporters can visit the IPv4.Global website to place their vote for a Vancouver Good Netizen. Voting will conclude on October 8 after the closing of NANOG 73 and ARIN 42. The IPv4.Global Good Netizen Awards were designed to recognize and celebrate local organizations that have demonstrated exceptional "netizenship" throughout their communities, including engaging in the promotion of internet access for all, supporting and funding internet and technology education, and contributing to open and ethical internet business practies. The winner will be chosen through online voting which opens on Thursday, September 27 and concludes on Monday, October 8. IPv4.Global will contribute one percent of its gross sales from its IPv4 online auction platform from October 15 through October 22, dividing the proceeds between the Good Netizen Award winner and runner-up proportionate to the number of votes each organization receives. "We would like to extend our sincere congratulations to all four organizations selected as finalists for this second edition of the Good Netizen Awards," shares Gabe Fried, Chief Executive Officer, Hilco Streambank. "Their contributions to the Vancouver community are notable and wide-ranging. The inaugural Good Netizen Awards that took place in Denver this past June were a great success and we are pleased to continue this initiative in Vancouver and look forward to recognizing Good Netizens around the world in the future."
