<big>'''Welcome to ICANNWiki'''</big>, a project to create a free, complete, up-to-date, and reliable guide to the world of [[ICANN]].  It is intended for use by people attending [[ICANN]] conferences as well as those following what's happening from afar.  So far we have [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles written and, of course, have plenty more [[ICANNWiki:Community portal|to do]]!
 
  
You are more than welcome to help ...  well actually, we really need your help editing the information being added!  If you're interested, please just make a login and [[Getting Started|get started]] if you're familiar with [[Wiki]] and if not, send any one of us ([[Raymond King|Ray]], [[Andrew Merriam|Andrew]] or [[Caterina Purves|Caterina]]) an e-mail and we'll get you going!

It rose to become the second largest registrar following its acquisition of [[BulkRegister]], although it continues to be run as a separate service. eNom has a portfolio of vertical web properties that reach more than 100 million monthly visitors. Paul Stahura founded the company in 1997, it initially was run out of his garage using a single computer with an ISDN line. In 2007, eNom became the second largest domain registrar in the world, with over 8 million registered domain names in 70 different domain extensions. eNom's resellers are mostly web hosting and web development companies that use eNom's application programming interface ([[API]]) to buy and sell domain names on their own web sites, or eNom's hosted reseller solution—a customer retail website branded as the reseller's but hosted by eNom. Their back-end systems can handle about 2 billion [[DNS]] queries a day, and maintains its name server constellation across six datacenters around the world. They forward over 11 million emails and block over 28 million spam messages every day. In October, 2007, eNom sunsetted its drop catcher website, [[ClubDrop]].com, to partner with [[Network Solutions]] to create the aftermarket auction venue [[NameJet]].com. NameJet became the auction venue for the expired domain inventory of Network Solutions. ...[[LogicBoxes|read more]]

ICANNWiki is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting the collaborative development of articles on ICANN and Internet Governance-related topics, currently featuring 8,390 entries. This platform aims to provide neutral, third-party information, being grounded in wiki values. Want to help? Request an account today! and have a look at our Content Planning page. ICANNWiki is not ICANN, being an independent organization. Any donations made to us are used to maintain this platform only.

Featured Article

From the article featured during this season: "ICANN's Contractual Compliance and Consumer Safeguards department is charged by ICANN with enforcing the contractual compliance of registries and registrars through complaint-driven informal and formal resolution processes, ICANN-initiated monitoring, and compliance audits." Read more!

Current Focus

Our focus this season is: ICANN History. Our community is working together on surfacing information from ICANN's history, including going over its documents, blog posts, Working Groups (including the already great article on Working Groups!), and all other relevant information that can help us understand how ICANN arrived where it is today.
