IANA — the set of Internet coordination functions that maintain the DNS root zone, global IP address pools, autonomous-system numbers, and protocol parameter registries.
A registry, registrar, ICANN, and IANA perform different roles. The registry maintains the TLD database, the registrar serves the customer, and coordinating organizations define or administer broader policy and technical parameters.
IANA — the set of Internet coordination functions that maintain the DNS root zone, global IP address pools, autonomous-system numbers, and protocol parameter registries.
The mechanism or organization supports registration, delegation, data access, or compliance with technical and contractual requirements. Its authority depends on the layer of the system.
Contact the registrar about payment, registrant data, and most domain operations. Registry and policy issues are normally escalated through the registrar unless an official procedure provides a direct channel.
