Internet Assigned Numbers Authority

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) operates globally, taking charge of managing domain names, IP addresses, protocol parameter identifiers, and Domain Name Systems (DNSs) essential for internet functioning. IANA’s oversight extends to specific numerical symbols, values, and various media formats, including audio, text, and video, existing within the internet ecosystem. Upholding IANA’s website standards is a responsibility shared by ICANN, which consists of websites within the United States and worldwide.
