'''ICANNWiki''' is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting the Internet community's collaborative development of wiki articles on [[ICANN]] and Internet Governance-related topics. The wiki provides neutral, third-party information for ICANN meeting attendees and Internet citizens at large. It is an open platform governed by wiki values, such as Neutral Point of View, transparency, assuming good faith, and building together. The project is independent from ICANN, and is based out of Portland, Oregon, USA.

The Internet Governance space is known for being highly technical and obscure, making it difficult to develop a general understanding of the issues involved. These issues are pertinent to the daily lives of all Internet users, as well as those on the other edge of the digital divide, still waiting for Internet access. ICANNWiki works with the community to break these complex concepts down into understandable, fully-referenced, fact-based, and neutral articles. <ref> This article is entirely user-submitted by the ICANNWiki team & supporters: Ray, Jonah, Vivian, and Andrew.

The ICANNWiki team's time is spread across 4 main areas:
The ICANNWiki team's time is spread across 4 main areas:
* '''ICANN Meetings''' - There are 3 ICANN meetings held per year, often in very disparate locations as per ICANN's mandate to be a global organization. Generally, two ICANNWiki team members travel to the meetings in order to interact with the participants. We teach people about the site and its usage, create and edit articles, take photographs for caricatures, and sometimes conduct video interviews. While travel costs and booth materials are one of the project's largest expenditures, we feel the opportunity to work directly with the community, in a face-to-face mode, is important.
