Internet Coorporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)

ICANN is the non-profit corporation responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers. These include domain names (like .org, .net and country codes like .za), as well as the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols. The responsibility for IP address space allocation, protocol parameter assignment, domain name system management, and root server system management functions was previously performed under US Government contract by IANA (and other entities). IANA is now a function of ICANN rather than an seperate organisation. Read about ICANN...
