Welcome to ICANNWiki's Community Portal

Writing for your Community

Getting Started

The first step is to request a user account. ICANNWiki Admins and Editors review each request for an account and you should be up and running quickly. People often ask what information they should provide in the "Biography" and "Other Information" sections of the request form. Your connections to or interests in ICANN, the DNS, and other aspects of Internet governance are great things to include, but above all, just be yourself and let us know who you are. (You can see other FAQs here. As you move from editing existing articles to filling in gaps in the wiki, it may help to review our article on how to create a great article. There are also examples of good articles that utilize the ICANNWiki templates.
