Who runs the Internet?

Different associations run the Internet, so it is a mixture of ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), ISOC (Internet Society), IAB (Internet Architecture Board) and IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).  ISOC is a nongovernmental international membership society that promotes the orderly use and development of the Internet. Along with it is ICANN, an organization that is entrusted with assigning addresses and domain names to users. IAB is a committee within the Internet society that makes important policy decisions about operations and future developments. Its members are usually employees of large corporations like Microsoft. Lastly, IETF also plays a role by overseeing technical matters.
