Which body is responsible for coordinating the global Domain Name System root, IP address allocation and protocol parameters, and operates under a multistakeholder model?
ICANN coordinates the global Domain Name System root, allocation of IP address space and related technical identifiers, using a multistakeholder governance model. Bodies such as the WTO or the RBI have no such role in managing Internet names and numbers.
- AICANNCorrect
- BInternational Telecommunication Union Council only
- CWorld Trade Organization
- DReserve Bank of India
Explanation
ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, coordinates the DNS root, IP address space allocation and related identifiers through a multistakeholder model. The ITU is a UN agency for telecom standards and is not the DNS coordinator. The WTO deals with trade rules and the RBI is India's central bank, so neither manages Internet identifiers.
