It was developed by the United States’ National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and is maintained by it. WGS 84 is defined at paragraph 2.1 of the NGA Standardization Document, Department of Defense, World Geodetic System 1984 (https://earth-info.nga.mil/index.php?dir=wgs84&action=wgs84#tab_wgs84-res).
