<big><b>[[.app]]</b></big><br>
 
  
The new gTLD .app was delegated to the Root Zone in ICANN's New gTLD Program on 02 July 2015. On 25 February 2015, the applicants for .app entered into an ICANN "auction of last resort" to resolve the contention set for the string.
+
<div class="icannwiki-clearfix"></div>
  
The auction format was a step auction, as are all ICANN auctions, in which the auctioneer sets a price level for an interval of time and applicants choose whether they are in or out. The auction concludes when only one applicant moves to the next price level.

Google won the auction over the other applicants, with a winning bid of $25,001,000. The proceeds for the auction will go into a separate ICANN fund to be used for a designated purpose. The other applicants for the string were required to withdraw their applications for .app.

[[File:ICANNWiki Edit-A-Thon.jpg|thumb|left| Thanks for the successful Edit-A-Thon!]] ICANNWiki is a small team of editors and contributors who have helped shape over 5,000 articles about [[ICANN]], the [[DNS]] and [[Internet governance]] as a whole. Our goal is to continue to create and collaborate on relevant and educational articles that serve as a touchstone for our community. An edit-a-thon is a small, but powerful tool to start, grow or edit the information on ICANNWiki, and build a community of contributors.
 
  
Changes can start small--create or fill in your personal or company page, fix a small error. Or perhaps you have some insight into the history and trajectory of the [[new gTLD Program]]?

ICANNWiki is currently undergoing server updates. Editing is enabled and functional, but small spikes of instability might happen.


ICANNWiki is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting the collaborative development of articles about ICANN and Internet Governance-related topics, currently featuring 8,392 entries. The aim of this platform is to provide neutral, third-party information that takes all sides into consideration. Want to help? Request an account today! Remember that ICANNWiki is not ICANN, being an independent organization. Any donations made to us are used only to maintain this platform.

Where to start

Starting in ICANNWiki is as simple as requesting an account, which will be approved as long as it does not seem to be intended for spam or malice. From there, check out our short content guide to get a feel for what belongs in the wiki. You may 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: ICANN History. Our community is working together on surfacing information from ICANN's history, including going over its documents, blog posts, Working Groups (including the already great article on Working Groups!), and all other relevant information that can help us understand how ICANN arrived where it is today.
