Dear IGC List members,<div><br></div><div>I did a lot of work on the IGF Wikipedia page but I have not updated it since then. I am not making a federal case as to what I did because it's been more than 2 years. As far as I know I spend some quality time filling up that page because that includes learning how to use/edit a wiki with the headings and references. There was a lack of volunteers and one person cannot do everything. Just to let you all know how the updates started - a group of us from Diplo started on brainstorming on an email list. But mostly what happened was the effort died down for a bit. After I arrived from Sharm from the IGF, I added some updates. After that I just got too busy with work to be able to maintain the most recent updates. I had to do a lot of grammar and typo corrections because before I started "sprucing it up" there wasn't much in there. I did write some info on it, too, and even translated the wiki to Filipino. I believe some volunteers also translated it into different languages. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I suggest that we start with a call of volunteers and have a specific list dedicated to updating that continually. I am not sure if anyone had taken the reigns for it but whoever can, then go for it. I just took the role before because pretty much it was on my lap and I just went ahead. So if everyone feels the info needs to be changed please go ahead and change. If you have anything to add or edit and you don't want to go through the hassles of editing straight from the wiki, you can send the info to me and I will just directly edit the wiki. You may also volunteer pictures you took. I don't have a lot of time to write from scratch because of my my day job that requires a lot of my attention but if you got something for me to just directly add in the wiki, I can go ahead and add it for you. I would appreciate that.</div>

Also, Wikipedia's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multistakeholder_Model" target="_blank">Multistakeholder
Model</a> entry is inadequate and perhaps somewhat simpler to
mend. I created the space some weeks ago and after seeing it, that
it sounded like an x-rated video. I thought that perhaps
"Multistakeholder Governance Model" was a more appropriate heading.
And then my attention was drawn away.<br>
<br>
But I intend on getting back to fix things up. Thoughts on the
proper heading are appreciated, as well as some descriptive material
that can explain this concept to the public.<br>
<br>
My plan is to link it into some of the politics and democracy
portals that exist there. <br>

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Governance_Forum" target="_blank">Wikipedia
article on the Internet Governance Forum (IGF</a>), is wanting
and in dire need of updating. A lot has happened since Vilnius
2010 but the article has little to show for it. I would be
delighted to work with anyone who cares to spruce up the wiki
page.
