History

[edit | edit source]

ICANNWiki was originally founded by Raymond King in 2005, with help from Brandon CS Sanders and John Stanton, with the belief that a public wiki could be of benefit to the greater ICANN community. The project debuted at ICANN 24 in Vancouver, British Columbia. The wiki was rebooted in 2010, with a focus on improving articles and standards.[2]

ICANNWiki is known within the Internet Governance community for innovating in its outreach, with caricatures of ICANN meeting attendants, decks of playing cards featuring community members, and recurring Edit-a-Thon events.[3][4] ICANN itself has collaborated with the project in varied efforts of outreach and engagement, carried out in different regions of the world.[5][6]
