ICANNWiki is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2005, dedicated to supporting the Internet community's collaborative development of wiki articles on ICANN and Internet Governance-related topics. It currently counts with over 8,500 articles,[1] and has as its mission to provide neutral, third-party information, being an open platform governed by wiki values. ICANNWiki is not part of ICANN, being an entirely separate organization.
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]
Work
[edit | edit source]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]
