When the internet began to spread throughout society in the 1990s, beyond academic and research centers, the need to define its governance became evident, and one of the issues was deciding what websites could be called and who would manage them. On the internet, websites have first and last names, and, as with people, the last name indicates which family you belong to. This is the last part of a web address, the one that comes after the period, and there are general (.com, .org), country (.es, .fr), and thematic (.museum, .coop) addresses. They call it TLDs (Top-Level Domain). Initially, the person in charge of coordinating this issue was Jon Postel, who in 1996 initiated a debate on what the Internet's domain name system should be.
