Prior to the globalization of the Internet, its assignment of domain names was administered within the research and academic communities through the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). As the Internet grew to a global service, in the 1990s, there was increasing pressure to add more "generic" top-level domain names, beyond the initial set, such as .com and .org and the two-letter country codes. Extensive debate within the Internet operational community did not resolve this. In late 1996, the International Ad Hoc Committee (IAHC) was formed, composed of members named by a variety of Internet and International sponsoring organizations. The committee was a temporary, international, multi-organization effort tasked with specifying administrative and management policies for generic top-level domains (gTLDs).
