<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!

''''The DotAsia Organisation''' is the sponsor and registry operator for the [[.asia]] [[sTLD]], the first [[TLD]] to be headquartered in Asia. The Organisation was created in 2006 through a [[STLD|Sponsored TLD]] Registry Agreement. The [[Sunrise]], [[Landrush]], and [[Pioneer Domains Program]] went historically smooth for [[.asia]]. It conceived of the Pioneer Domains Program as an alternative to the general first-come-first-serve policy usually put in place through the [[Sunrise]] and [[Landrush]] periods. Its departure from this model marks the first time an application for a domain name was approved on the quality of the application itself. [[Vint Cerf]] was quoted as saying : "The Pioneer Domains Program will be a useful benchmark for other new [[TLD]] operators to take into account". The [[Sunrise]] period began in October, 2007. The [[Landrush]] lasted from February to March, 2008. The Organisation claims that there were zero disputes received throughout the entire start-up process. ...[[The DotAsia Organisation|read more]]

ICANNWiki is a not-for-profit organization supporting the collaborative development of articles about ICANN and Internet Governance-related topics, currently featuring 8,515 entries. It aims to provide neutral, third-party information that takes all perspectives into consideration. Want to help? Request an account today! ICANNWiki is independent of ICANN, and any donations made to us are used only to maintain this platform.

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!

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.
