The organisation was formed in 1998, created as a project of the RIPE Top-level Domain Working Group.

As the largest organisation of its kind, it is often called upon to give the view of country-code registries to organisations such as ICANN, the European Commission, the United Nations and the International Telecommunication Union. Internally, it is responsible for information sharing between registries, as well as identifying best practices for the industry.

Membership

Its members are solely registry organisations such as Nominet UK, IE Domain Registry and DENIC.
