Mission statement:	ICANN’s founding mission, as stated in its Bylaws, is to coordinate, at the overall level, the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers, and in particular to ensure the stable and secure operation of these related systems. This includes: 1. Coordinating the allocation and assignment of the following three sets of unique identifiers for the Internet (the IANA function): a. Domain names (used in a system referred to as "DNS"). b. Internet protocol ("IP") addresses and autonomous system ("AS") numbers; and c. Protocol port and parameter numbers. 2. Coordinating the operation and evolution of the DNS root name server system. 3. Coordinating the community’s policy development reasonably and appropriately related to these technical functions. In performing its mission, ICANN is guided by core values enumerated in its Bylaws. These general principles and values continue to guide the activities of ICANN’s Board, staff and community (of which ICANN is comprised).
