ICANN

ICANN is responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers. These include domain names (like .org, .museum and country codes like .UK), as well as the addresses used in a variety of Internet protocols. Computers use these identifiers to reach each other over the Internet. Careful management of these resources is vital to the Internet's operation, so ICANN's global stakeholders meet regularly to develop policies that ensure the Internet's ongoing security and stability.

IDN

The original specifications for the Domain Name System (DNS) limited the characters that were allowed in domain names to the set of alphanumeric characters in ASCII, plus the hyphen (-) and the period (.). As the Internet spread out across the world, away from its North American origins, demand for a new system that supported the many different languages and scripts across the world grew. The term "Internationalized Domain Names" (or IDN) refers to a domain name that uses recently adopted standards that modify the existing DNS protocols and standards to support multiple languages and scripts.

Internal transfer

An internal transfer occurs when a domain is transferred from a EuroDNS account to another EuroDNS account.
