<div style="direction: ltr;">A non profit was set up in 1998 to qoversee the internet - called ICANN, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. <a href="http://ICANN.org">ICANN.org</a> has good info. Also check out the Wikipedia sites for ARPANET and Jon Postel. Postel was a researcher
at UCLA working on ARPA contracts and helped create ARPANET.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">The US Dept of Commerce initiated the process to establish a new organization to take over the functions being led by Postel.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Prior to the creation of ICAAN, the website domain registry functions were privatized. National Science Foundation put out an RFP to take over domain registry functions and a private company called Network Solutions was the only
bidder at $5.9M. The history of Network Solutions is worth reading.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">All this history is on these Wikipedia sites.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Enjoy !</div>

<div dir="ltr">For an article I'm writing I'd like to know what are the best references to the decision-making that took place in transitioning the internet to private industry in the early 1990's (or point me in the right direction). You can share this with
me personally or with the list. I'll be happy to share what I find with this list. Thanks!!<br>
