The policies developed by [[ICANN]] are implemented by [[gTLD]] registry operators, [[ccTLD]] managers, root-nameserver operators and regional Internet registries. One of the main activities of [[ICANN]] is to work and cooperate with other organizations involved in the technical coordination of the Internet with the purpose of formally documenting their participatory role within the [[ICANN]] process.

Starting with 2000, [[ICANN]] started cooperating with [[ccTLD]] managers to document their relationship. Due to various circumstances such as: the type of organization, cultural issues, economics, legal environment - the relationships between [[ICANN]] and [[ccTLD]] mangers are complex ones. Another important aspect is related to the role of the national government in "managing or establishing policy for their own [[ccTLD]]s" (role recognized in the June 1998 U.S. Government White Paper).
