Update on the ICANN Community Wiki

Russ Weinstein

Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support

Russ Weinstein is the Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support. He leads a global team responsible for facilitating the development of policy recommendations and related advice by ICANN's multistakeholder community, as part of ICANN's mission to ensure the stable and secure operation of the Internet's unique identifier systems. Russ brings to his role more than 20 years of experience and success in building relationships, engaging diverse stakeholders, leading programs and teams to implement policy and advice, and creating scalable operations.

Joining ICANN in October 2012 to support the New gTLD Program, Russ has since held management roles of increasing responsibility. Promoted to Vice President, GDD Accounts and Services in 2020, he managed ICANN’s relationships and contracts with gTLD Registries and ICANN-Accredited Registrars.

Before ICANN, Russ worked in the aerospace industry, gaining experience in business operations, finance, contract administration, and supply chain management. He holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and an MBA from the University of Southern California.

Last week, I shared that ICANN would be migrating the ICANN Community Wiki to a cloud-based service. I am happy to report that the migration took place, and the platform is now more stable and reliable. We are working to resolve some issues related to hyperlink redirection and macros used to display some content. However, all content is accessible and discoverable through search and by navigation. Please continue to raise any concerns, such as not finding specific content, with your support team. Thank you for your patience, and I look forward to seeing you soon in Seattle or online for the ICANN82 Community Forum!
