Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, förkortat ICANN (engelskt uttal: [aɪkæn]), är en icke vinstinriktad organisation som har yttersta huvudansvaret för IP-protokollen, adressrymden som finns i IP-protokollen, DNS med mera.[1] ICANN arbetar inte med att kontrollera datainnehållet på Internet, till exempel skräppost och bedrägerier.
Organisationen grundades 18 september 1998.[1] Ansvaret för dessa områden låg tidigare hos myndigheter i USA, vilka i sin tur delegerade verksamheten till organisationen IANA. Innan ICANN övertog ansvaret kritiserades de dåvarande ansvariga organisationerna för hemlighetsmakeri och för att inte tillåta internationell inblick i verksamheten.

Partial map of the Internet based on the January 15, 2005 data found on opte.org. Each line is drawn between two nodes, representing two IP addresses. The length of the lines are indicative of the delay between those two nodes. This graph represents less than 30% of the Class C networks reachable by the data collection program in early 2005. Lines are color-coded according to their corresponding RFC 1918 allocation as follows:
