ICANNWiki is a not-for-profit organization supporting the collaborative development of articles about ICANN and Internet Governance-related topics, currently featuring 8,705 entries. It aims to provide neutral information that takes all perspectives into consideration. Want to help? Request an account today! ICANNWiki is independent of ICANN. Any donations made to us are used only to maintain this platform.

Current Focus

Our focus this season is: ccTLDs. Our community is working together on surfacing information about these stakeholders, including going over documents, blog posts, Working Groups (including the already great article on Working Groups!), and all other relevant information.

Where to start

Getting started is as simple as requesting an account, which will be approved as long as it does not appear to be intended for spam or malice. Then, make sure to read our short content guide to get a feel for what belongs in the wiki. You may also want to have a look at some data source suggestions on where to find reliable data. That's it, happy editing!
