TechNet Wiki International Council

TechNet Wiki International Council

Purpose

Just like the TechNet Wiki Community Council, the TechNet Wiki International Council is a small group of active members from the Community. The International Council should function in a similar way but is specifically focused on supporting languages other than English on the Wiki. It brings together representatives of different language Communities to experiment, learn, formalize, share and broadly apply whatever makes non-English Community successful. The initial goal is to develop healthy communities in languages that already have significant contributions and take them to the next level.
