A series of meetings were held in the summer of 1998 to create a new not-for-profit corporation (called ICANN - Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ) to take over the functions of IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. These meetings were in response to the U. S. Department of Commerce Statement of Policy on the Management of Internet Names and Addresses and were organized under the umbrella of the International Forum on the White Paper (IFWP).

Meetings involving the domain name system are listed below in chronological order. These links will take you away from the DOMAINHANDBOOK.COM website.
