Fascinating reply for a non IT guy, i-CONICA, thank you. I hope I'd be forgiven for thinking that with MS dominating the internet for people like myself all these years, I'd assumed the were proprietorial in industry standards, so who sets these?
For domain names, it's ICANN, a non-profit (Internet corp for assigned names and numbers).
For web coding standards, it's W3. The world wide web consortium, founded by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, no less.
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
The World Wide Web Consortium is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web.
