Three groups run the Internet: International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, Internet Society, and Internet Engineering Task Force.
The International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) decides who gets the rights to domain names and charges an annual fee to the domain owners for the privilege. They authorize 100s of registries around the globe for when you do not need to deal directly to ICANN.
The Internet Society (ISOC) is a nongovernmental international membership society that promotes the orderly use and development of the Internet. Internet Architecture Board (IAB) is a committee within ISOC that makes important policy decisions about operations and future developments.
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) oversees technical matters.
