The Internet isn't governed or owned by any one central body that determines how it runs and operates. This is the main appeal of the Internet, but because it is so deeply entrenched in virtually every aspect of global society, various Internet standards organisations as shown below*, have come about to try and ensure that essential cohesion, functionality and operability is maintained.
* This is not an exhaustive list

If you're something to do with an Internet standards or similar organisation and would like it to be included in this list free of charge, please send an email to contact@cyberspace-times.com saying what the organisation is called and a brief description.
