A: It’s important to clarify what’s defined as “regulation.” The Internet is a network of interconnected devices that follow a common set of technical instructions known as “protocols” and “standards” to function.
Most of these protocols and standards are discussed and agreed upon in open and collaborative processes where any interested person can participate. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) are good examples of organizations whose diverse communities drive the discussions on different technical aspects related to the operation of the Internet on a global scale.
