Nicola Pozio (b. 1965) is an accountant for The Spaceguard Foundation. Without his dedication to the development and support of the Foundation it would not have been possible for the discoverers to initiate and maintain the activity on NEOs at the Spaceguard Central Node.Naming citation (20020624/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
