ICANN

About ICANN:-

 Internet Corporation Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is the global body that oversees operation and administration of the Internet domain name system.

ICANN was formed in 1998.

AIM:-

ICANN is a not-for-profit partnership of people from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable.

Working :- 

ICANN promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet’s unique identifiers.

ICANN doesn’t control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn’t deal with access to the Internet.

But through its coordination role of the Internet’s naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.

It is responsible for coordinating the maintenance and methodologies of several databases, with unique identifiers, related to the namespaces of the Internet – and thereby, ensuring the network’s stable and secure operation.

ICANN is governed by an internationally diverse Board of Directors overseeing the policy development process.

ICANN’s President directs an international staff, working from three continents, who ensure that ICANN meets its operational commitment to the Internet community.
