ICANNWiki is a nonprofit dedicated to bringing internet governance content to everyone. The website functions much like Wikipedia in that it strives to be neutral and fact-based, but with a focus on ICANN and governance. Since 2015, the organization has partnered with a number of stakeholder groups in Kenya, Tanzania, Argentina, China, Hong Kong, Colombia, and Brazil to hold hands-on workshops to inform, collaborate and develop localized content in languages such as Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, and Swahili. | ICANNWiki is a nonprofit dedicated to bringing internet governance content to everyone.
