IANA

Three facts on “The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)”

• IANA is broadly responsible for the allocation of globally-unique names and numbers that are used in Internet protocols.
• IANA delegates local registrations of IP addresses to Regional Internet Registries (RIRs).
• IANA administers the data in the root nameservers, which is the top of the hierarchial DNS tree.

Domain Name
My name was available on all fronts to me.
