Annual Sponsorship Program
Sponsorship BackgroundPlease join us in the creation of an online ICANN community. This project is designed to be non-partisan and open to all who wish to participate. We believe that fostering a widely inclusive spectrum of participation will encourage collectively generated content that evolves toward ever greater accuracy and a sense of balance. Thanks to our Sponsors ICANNWiki had a successful debut in Vancouver that continued through New Zealand and Morocco! First some highlights:
In addition to these highlights, users of ICANNWiki have distilled information of general interest such as a detailed Timeline of significant ICANN events. Google and other major search engines have indexed ICANNWiki so that now a search for a random ICANN attendee usually turns up their ICANNwiki article near the top of the search results. This increased visibility is turning ICANNwiki into a major hub for the wider ICANN community. We are pleased with these initial results and look forward to taking ICANNwiki to a whole new level at our next meeting. Adding hundreds of people, companies, and groups into ICANNwiki takes time. The Wiki education process is particularly time intensive. A primary ongoing goal is to talk with and add those we have missed at the previous meetings. Additionally, we have shifted attention to the development of other collaborative content such as session notes and topical discussions so that ICANNwiki becomes an ever more valuable repository of information that helps ICANN better achieve its goals. The benefit is not only to those that attend the conference as a way to look back at what was covered, but also as a reporting mechanism to those that are unable to attend the conference. This project is completely dependent on sponsorship to cover expenses. Taking into account travel for three-four people, caricatures, projects, booth rental, printed materials and equipment, total out of pocket costs are approximately $50,000. Our continuing sponsors are very important to the success of the ICANNWiki community. As a special thank-you to continuing sponsors, we will be including logos and other positive exposure between ICANN sessions in many of the promotional pieces we create. This includes the now highly sought after ICANNWiki Quickies. All sponsorships and any other forms of help (see community portal) are greatly appreciated and will go toward making participation in the ICANN process more efficient and enjoyable. Due to printing deadlines, we want to make sure that we properly acknowledge and thank everyone, so please give it some thought and respond at your earliest convenience. Thanks! The ICANNWiki Team.
