Internet Governing Bodies

As explained in advance about the operation of the Internet , the following is the body responsible for standardization in order to control and regulate the Internet is still going and growing for the better :

1 . International Internet Society ( ISOC )

Is a professional body with membership open to anyone whether personal , corporate , university , and government . ISOC is the body that the Internet facilitates , supports , and promotes the use of and access to the Internet . The agency is dealing not only with the technical aspects , but also aspects of political , social , educational , economic , etc. from the internet . ISOC aims to ensure the development of an open Internet , so that the evolution and use of the Internet can be beneficial for all human beings on earth .

2 . Internet Architecture Board ( IAB )

Is a coordinating body and the technical advisor of the ISOC . The agency acts as a technical review and editorial end all Internet standards . IAB has the authority to issue the document known as the Internet standard RFC ( Request For Comment ) created by the IETF , IEEE and other organizations are entitled to make a proposal . Another task of the IAB is to arrange the numbers and constants used in the Internet protocol ( TCP port numbers , IP protocol codes , etc. ) .

3 . Internet Engineering Task Force ( IETF )

Is a unit under the IAB is comprised of people who are concentrating to develop applications and future Internet architecture . The agency is tasked to establish an Internet standard . One of its tasks is published RFC ( Request For Comment ) over a proposed standard protocol or by a person for comment by the public with the consent of the IAB . Website is www.ietf.org . The IETF is divided into nine working groups ( eg applications , routing and addressing , computer security ) .

4 . Institute of Electrical and Electronic Enginering ( IEEE )

IEEE stands initially is Institute of Electrical and Electronic Enginering ( in Indonesian means Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ) is actually an extension is no longer used , the official name of the agency is currently only IEEE alone . IEEE composed of many experts in the field of engineering that promotes development of standards and act as a party to accelerate new technologies in every aspect of industry and engineering which includes telecommunications , computer networks , electrical , aerospace and electronics . The purpose of the IEEE is developing technologies to enhance human dignity .

5 . Internet Research Task Force ( IRTF )

IRTF is the agency that has a research orientation in short-term and long-term on Internet protocols , applications , architecture and technology of the Internet . IRTF is below IAB unit . Website is www.irtf.org

6 . Internet Assigned Numbers Authority ( IANA )

IANA charge of fixing problems Internet protocol parameters , such as IP address space and the Domain Name System ( DNS ) . IANA also acted as the supreme authority to regulate the governing root DNS database DNS information center , also specify the IP address of autonomous systems in the Internet network . IANA operates under ISOC and is also part of the IAB is funded by the U.S. government . Due to the increasing use of the Internet IANA will be replaced by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ( ICANN ) is an international nonprofit agency .

In addition to the above agencies some W3C ( World Wide Web Consortium ) , which is the body responsible for the regulation and develop standards for the World Wide Web ( WWW ) . WWW is often considered to be the same as the Internet as a whole , although it is actually a part of the Internet application is arguably the most important . W3C is currently headed by Tim Berners Lee , the creator of the World Wide Web .
