	IANA, Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
		The IANA is housed at the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute, where it manages a diverse database of Internet Protocol parameters and values for the ICANN, from port assignments to IETF XML URIs, ensuring they are assigned correctly and uniquely.
		IANA was run by Jonathan Bruce Postel for thirty years until he passed away in 1998.
		IANA's birth can be traced to 1969, when Postel first started keeping lists of network protocol numbers on a scrap of notebook paper.

	Internet Assigned Numbers Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		IANA was formerly one man, the late Jon Postel.
		IANA delegates the allocation of IPv4 addresses to RIRs in large chunks (typically /8 or more at a time), and the RIRs then follow their own policies for address allocation.
		IANA is under the control of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), but ultimate control of the DNS root zone is held by the United States Department of Commerce.

	Guidelines for Writing an IANA Considerations Section in RFCs
		If the IANA is expected to play a role in the management of a name space, the IANA must be given clear and concise instructions describing that role.
		That is, the IANA forwards the requests it receives to a specific point-of-contact (one or a small number of individuals) and acts upon the returned recommendation from the designated expert.
		IANA controls the higher levels of the namespace according to one of the other policies.

	Iana - In memory
		Iana is survived by her parents, husband (her childhood sweetheart), four wonderful, talented children of whom she was so proud, and her younger sister, Bianca, also an English teacher.
		Iana was the pivot of her delightful family which grew up in an atmosphere of loving care, surrounded by music, books, a love of nature and of humanity.
		Iana was, is and will continue to be an inspiration to all, both in her teaching and in her personal struggle with illness.

	Katz & Devon on War on National Review Online
		Al-Hussayen's indictment notes that IANA's proselytization activities included the "dissemination of radical Islamic ideology the purpose of which was indoctrination, recruitment of members, and the instigation of acts of violence and terrorism." Backed by the Saudis, IANA has become a glorified al Qaeda recruitment center.
		Another of IANA's websites, Islamway.com, advertised for the Saudi charity, Al-Haramain, which had two of its branches raided in Bosnia and Somalia for supporting al Qaeda and is an entity being sued by the 9/11 Families United to Bankrupt Terrorism.
		IANA and several other organizations like it are still active in the United States and will no doubt continue their propaganda programs and their incitement to drive individuals to commit terrorist attacks, unless concerned citizens refuse to legitimize these organizations and expose them.

	All About ISOC: Press Releases
		The IANA is the name for the function for the allocation and assignment of various identifiers needed for the operation of the Internet, which function was assigned by DARPA to the Information Sciences Institute (ISI) of the University of Southern California pursuant to contracts between DARPA and ISI.
		Simply stated, IANA and NSI (as operator of the Internic) have maintained a consultative and cooperative relationship in the management of the DNS, as was expected and indeed required under the NSF/NSI Cooperative Agreement.
		IANA fully expects this cooperation to continue and would be astounded if NSI were to adopt any policy or take any action inconsistent with this principle.

		It is incumbent on ICANN, IANA, and NTIA to justify to the community of internet users that a proposed change to DNS is safe and that its deployment will be carefully monitored and that there are contingency plans should the unexpected happen.
		ICANN, IANA, and NTIA ought to establish a clear mechanism to publish notice of such changes, to scientifically inquire into the effects of such changes, and to safely deploy such changes.

	Testimony of Jon Postel
		Since IANA, in addition to participating in every IFWP meeting, also produced its own multiple draft documents, posted them publicly and sought comments on them from anyone, these critics argue that the IANA effort was an attempt to undercut the only "true" public process.
		The fact is that IANA participated in every one of the IFWP meetings, and in addition communicated in person, by telephone, by e-mail and through the receipt of literally hundreds of comments from people and organizations representing every conceivable Internet constituency.
		Both NSI and IANA concluded that the only intelligent way to obtain consensus was to see whether we could combine the two drafts in a way that would attract support from all stakeholders.

	Industry asks: Who is Jon Postel?
		IANA is ultimately responsible for assigning Internet addresses throughout the world.
		And it is IANA that doles out IP numbers to registries, which in turn issue them to Internet service providers and users.
		IANA, along with the Internet Society, are the main forces be hind the International Ad Hoc Committee's (IAHC) plan to add seven more domain names, including.web, and as many as 28 new registries under the umbrella of ITU.

		Of these three agreements, arguably the one that rests on the most unsteady foundations is the IANA contract -- if only because it has to be awarded according to rules that give other people a (theoretical) chance to bid.
		The ccTLDs have been at work developing their own IANA plan, based of a fee-for-service model (anathema to ICANN, since IANA would stop being the leverage used to drive part of the cash engine).
		IANA should take explicit direction from ICANN on political and policy issues, and it should only do so only after publication of messages that anyone can read.

	Internet Assigned Numbers Authority - Wikipedia
		Die IANA verteilt IPv4-Adressen in großen Blöcken (typischerweise /8 in CIDR-Notation), und die RIRs folgen dann ihren eigenen Regelungen für die Zuweisung von Adressen an Endkunden (in diesem Sinne Provider oder Organisationen, die ihre IP-Adressen selbst verwalten), wobei dann meist /19er oder /20er Blöcke zugeteilt werden.
		Die IANA ist auch für die Delegation und Zuweisung von IPv6-Adressen zuständig, hat es sich hier aber in sofern einfach gemacht, als sie einfach sehr große Blöcke an die RIRs verteilt hat und damit auf absehbare Zeit weitere Delegationen unnötig gemacht hat.
		Die IANA ist organisatorisch eine Unterabteilung von ICANN und steht damit zumindest indirekt unter dem Einfluss des US-Wirtschaftministeriums.

		In other words the IAB is accepting only on the condition that the new entity excludes any and all other groups which develop Internet standards or any entity which may have an interest in how those standards are applied, tested, and modified.
		I recommend that the IAB rescind its acceptance of the IANA draft until it has the opportunity to evaluate other proposals that will be forthcoming.
		And should the IAB continue to support the IANA proposal, I recommend that the IAB consider that it deserves at most one seat among many on the Protocol Supporting Organization.

		IANA gave the Internet stability and robustness by assigning and managing, in an orderly fashion, the unique numbers and unique names of the Internet Domain Name System (DNS).
		IANA allocated blocks of the numerical addresses to regional registries throughout the world, which in turn issued them to Internet service providers and users.
		IANA also assigned and maintained a registry of values for several technical parameters — including protocol numbers, port numbers and other units — that had to be unique for the Internet to operate.

	The COOK Report: Special Report on Internet Governance 8/1/97
		The situation is messy because, while the IANA was the implementor of the IAHC process that threatens the livelihood of Network Solution's control of the.com top level domain name, IANA also depends on NSI to run the key data bases that feed the DNS root servers and to fund the start up expenses for ARIN.
		To complicate things further IANA, through the IAHC process, is firmly allied with ISOC and some believe with ITU - an alliance that is generally unpopular within the commercial Internet community and one of the major reasons why the majority of that community is believed to favor the US government intervention.
		If IANA did not back down, its only choice would be to go public and explaining the situation in a post to the Internet, give the location information for the new root zone and ask all DNS operators to update the root.cache files on their machines immediately.
