'''Q: What excites you most about ICANNWiki?'''
 
The Internet is almost as important to our survival as other global resources such as air and water.  The governing body, ICANN, has an amazing bottom up structure that allows anyone to participate and form the policies that guide its future.  Separately, from the moment I was first introduced to wiki technology I was struck by its simple elegance.  The accompanying culture of collaboration is powerful and uplifting.  Offering a wiki platform that is aimed at people who wish to learn, collaborate and participate in the ICANN process is a natural fit.  In the past ten years Andrew, then Jonah and now, co-directors Jackie and Dustin have done amazing work and it’s SO exciting to see the community respond and participate!

The Internet Governance and ICANN community runs the spectrum from commercial folks like me to the super secret heros like Becky Burr who really are here to save the world.

I joined this community nine years ago.  I quickly realized that my commercial reasons may have started my journey here professionally, but my desire to learn and help others would keep me here personally.  I truly believe that access to the internet is a basic human right. There are over 3 billion users of the internet today.  We can grow this number together, safely, and allow everyone to have the access they deserve. I also believe with the policies, procedures and safeguards put in place within the Internet Governance Community, we will be able to make the changes that will impact lives in a positive way.

I am most excited about the resource that holds our content for ICANNWiki. It's organic and it's becoming smarter with us. We have a resource filled with content to guide you through this extremely important community.  Come take a look around, enjoy the hard work and dedication of our team and the community, and most of all, join us in making an impact!
