.int TLD - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I was going to put this in tech, but I thought maybe I'd have a greater chance here of finding out if anyone knows. I was looking at another thread here and saw INTERPOL's domain name, interpol.int. I assume that .int is "international" and not "interpol" as one organization having a TLD is a bit ridiculous. Who manages the .int TLD?

The .int TLD has a very specific purpose; namely, it was created for international treaty organizations such as INTERPOL or the WHO. So far as I know it is managed directly by ICANN, a task made relatively simple by the very few domains handed out.
