NIWA is unique in that there is no autocratic leadership; the general staffs of the wikis themselves take a democratic, yet transparent approach to governing the system, and the wikis themselves are independently owned.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=All of the NIWA wikis are separately owned, operated and hosted. They differ in policies and maintain their unique designs, values and traditions.|url=http://niwanetwork.org/about.html|title=NIWA - About|site=niwanetwork.org}}</ref> In this way, the group places the input of all inducted wikis on the same level of importance, without interfering with any wiki's individual values. There is, however, a NIWA Coordinator who was elected by the Wikis to help lead the organization and facilitate progress. NIWA uses a site-wide forum system to implement policies, induct and nominate members, and conduct interwiki business. | NIWA is unique in that there is no autocratic leadership; the general staffs of the wikis themselves take a democratic, yet transparent approach to governing the system, and the wikis themselves are independently owned.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=All of the NIWA wikis are separately owned, operated and hosted.
