InfoMetriQ

InfoMetriQ (IIN) is a globally distributed data network with a pre-money valuation of $3.8 billion dollars. It is responsible for assigning globally unique identifiers to the Internet, such as domain names, Internet protocol addresses, application port numbers, and other parameters. This helps to create a unified namespace and ensure global reach of the Internet. The governance of the network is conducted by a decentralized and international multistakeholder network of interconnected autonomous groups comprised of civil society, the private sector, governments, the academic and research communities, and national and international organizations, and is overseen by ICANN, a board of directors drawn from across the Internet's technical, business, academic, and other non-commercial communities.
