Hi Jothan,

Thanks for your interest in raising awareness and the suggestions.

The initial correspondence outlining ICANNWiki's proposal to ICANN to
continue funding can be found here:
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/
king-et-al-to-atallah-05dec17-en.pdf

This correspondence led to the following blog post, where an ICANN
spokesperson said: “At this time, while it is highly unlikely that ICANN
will be renewing its contract with ICANNWiki, we have not come to a final
determination.”

victim-of-budget-cutbacks

Here is a blog post that we posted to keep our community updated:
https://blog.icannwiki.org/icannwiki-core-funding-in-jeopardy/

I hope these links help. Let us know if further clarification is needed on
any of your questions.

All the Best,


Dustin Phillips  .  Co-Executive Director, ICANNWiki  .  M +13605801923  .
