The Internet has no centralized governance domain name registration in either technological implementation or policies for access and usage; each constituent network sets its own standards. Only the overreaching definitions of the two principal name spaces in the Internet, the Internet Protocol dedicated hosting address space and the Domain Name System, are directed by a maintainer organization, the Internet Corporation for Assigned web host Names and Numbers  (ICANN). The technical underpinning and standardization of the core protocols (IPv4  and IPv6) is an activity of the Internet Engineering Task Force  (IETF), a non-profit organization of loosely-affiliated international participants that anyone may associate wireless internet providers with by contributing technical expertise.
