Broadly speaking, to continue keeping knowledge freely available, preventing censorship, and upholding free expression. Specifically, to continue ensuring information about internet governance policies, the domain name industry, and the community are synthesized, modular, and easily understood.

* More great content

+

** expanding [[Internet Governance]], [[Web Evolution]], [[Cybersecurity]], and [[Alternative Roots]] into portals

+

** comprehensive tables that can only be found here

* More community engagement

+

** Getting [[ICANN Fellow]]s and the [[NextGen@ICANN|next generation of ICANN community leaders]] involved

+

** Working with [[:Category:Academia|academic]] and [[:Category:Technical Community|technical]] communities to develop articles on trends in the DNS industry, internet governance, cybersecurity, cyber-geopolitics, and web3 technologies

Like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia], it relies on wiki technology and everyone can access information that has been synthesized, clarified, up-to-date, and written from a neutral point of view.

Like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia], it relies on wiki technology and everyone can access information that has been synthesized, clarified, made up-to-date, and written from a neutral point of view.

Like the [https://plato.stanford.edu/ Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy], it serves a niche audience and uses editors and a community of contributors with specialized knowledge. It is designed so that each entry is maintained, verified, and sometimes refereed by editors and community members, all of whom have some interest or connection to internet governance, the DNS industry, or technical standards.
