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 these meetings to interact with the constituents. This involves creating new articles on the participants themselves; updating their info on people, organizations, or initiatives through interviews; educating about the site and its mission; and generally providing help to both newcomers and frequent attendees. It is one of the project's largest expenditures but it represents a significant and important opportunity to work with the community in real time, face-to-face.

* Content Creation & Editing - Jonah is always hard at work compiling information as it is released from ICANN and other news sources into already existing articles, or building out new resources as needs arise from within the community. He enforces ICANNWiki's insistence on neutral and documented information and edits pages as they are created or updated by community members. This is a significant undertaking, and with the release of the New gTLD Program, has seen the site explode by the thousands of pages as we track applicants, their applications, and the nuances of the entire process.

* Community Building - Jonah and Ray spread the good word about ICANNWiki at ICANN events and remotely, both showcasing its current offerings and asking for input. The issues covered on ICANNwiki are relevant to the whole world, and it is the ICANN veterans and career [[DNS]] folks that are often the most influential or educated about the topics. Thus, engaging those that are closest to the material is a necessary part of creating equal access to information for those that do not have the same perspective or understanding of those closest to the world Internet Governance. However, given that Industry Governance spans all types of stakeholders, even those long-time participants may need help in understanding the work that is being done by other groups within the larger ecosystem.
