ICANN's tasks include responsibility for Internet Protocol (IP) address space allocation, protocol identifier assignment, generic (gTLD) and country code (ccTLD) top-level domain name A top-level domain or domain name is the highest level of domain names in the root zone of the Domain Name System of the Internet.
