ICANN is a nonprofit public benefit corporation responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers. These include top-level domain names (like .org, or .museum)

  1. Coordinates the allocation and assignment of the three sets of unique identifiers for the Internet, which are
    1. Domain names (forming a system referred to as "DNS");
    2. Internet protocol ("IP") addresses and autonomous system ("AS") numbers; and
    3. Protocol port and parameter numbers.
  2. Coordinates the operation and evolution of the DNS root name server system.
  3. Coordinates policy development reasonably and appropriately related to these technical functions.
