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's worth reviewing our guide to creating a great article. There are also examples of good articles that utilize the ICANNWiki templates.

Tutorials

Templates

Templates provide a common information display box for companies, community members, and TLDs. These are copy-paste versions for you to put into new articles (or articles that are missing that information).

Reference & Resources

The community has compiled lists of valuable guides, coverage of ICANN, and other information that may be useful.

Community Engagement

Opportunities to Dive In

Suggestions & Requests

This resource exists for the ICANN community, and it is powered by awesome volunteers within that community. After a hiatus, we now also have paid editorial support! Your opinions are valuable - they help us direct the work of our paid editors, as well as providing prompts and guidance for volunteers.

Sponsorship

We are in the process of reviewing and reworking our sponsorship offerings for our organizational partners. If you are interested in sponsoring ICANNWiki, or have ideas of how you'd like to participate, let us know! As always, individuals can donate via Paypal.
