Our aim is to create an informative article for each company, with references which explain where we got the information. As you might expect, an Internet search via Google or another search engine is generally the most effective way to research and find information.

* Some of the companies, such as MelbourneIT, has a [http://www.melbourneit.info/about-us/our-history "History"] page with detailed chronological information included in their official websites. We can use this information to create the history part keeping two things in mind. First, do not copy or paste anything, create your own content based on the information. Secondly, try to include as many references as possible. Typically the companies only use important newsworthy landmarks. So chances are, you can find a lot of references for these events on the internet.

==References==
Don't forget that each article needs references, preferably from a variety of reputable sources! Be sure to cite often,using the ref tags (look at finished articles to see how this works, or ask an admin like [[User:Ray|Ray]] or [[User:Jonah|Jonah]]). Do not use ICANNWiki.org as a source, as the articles will eventually be removed.
