This excerpt is from an article on IANA in the Dec. 1, '97 issue of
Interactive Week:

"The four-person operation at the University of Southern California
functioned under a government contract with the National Science
Foundation until earlier this year, and it remains under the control of
Jon Postel, a computer scientist at the university, who has operated
IANA according to consensus reached by Internet engineering bodies."
