What Does OneWebDay Mean?

OneWebDay (OWD) is an annual event that dates back to 2006. Each year, September 22 is a day set aside for celebrating the Internet and its users around the world. The idea of OneWebDay is attributed to Susan Crawford, a member of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers or ICANN.
