'''ICANNWiki''' is a grassroots, community effort to compile articles describing the people, companies, organizations, terms and concepts that are at the heart of Internet Governance.  We foster greater worldwide input and understanding of how policy is created for the various moving parts that affect the current and future development of the Internet which we all use everyday.  In particular we cover the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ([[ICANN]]) and related international policy and management bodies.

We break these concepts down and work with the community to provide the resources they need, appealing to both newcomers and veterans of the space.
