==ccTLDs and ICANN==  

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. These organizations are committed  the ICANN policies that result from their work. <ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/cctlds/ ICANN ccTLDs]</ref>

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 ccTLDs" (role recognized in the June 1998 U.S. Government White Paper).
