ICANN was created by members of the Internet community in response to a June 1998 White Paper, issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC). As the Internet developed, DNS functions were carried out by a variety of volunteers and US Government contractors. A non-competitive, government-funded system developed. The DOC's White Paper envisaged a "global, consensus, non-profit corporation", to serve as the means by which DNS management could be privatized, enabling an open, competitive system.
