Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO)

The ccNSO is a body within the ICANN structure created for and by ccTLD managers.

How to Join the ccNSO?

Thank you for your interest in joining the country code Name Supporting Organization (ccNSO). Membership of the ccNSO is open to ccTLD managers responsible for managing an ISO 3166-1 country code top-level domain, as well as interested IDN ccTLD managers. A ccTLD manager is the organization or entity listed in the IANA Root Zone Database as responsible for managing a ccTLD.

To support ccTLD Managers to become members of the ccNSO, the ccNSO Council adopted a generic template during its 211th meeting. This letter may be helpful for those ccTLD Managers who require an invitation to join the ccNSO.  If your ccTLD would like to receive a personalized invitation to become a ccNSO member, please contact the ccNSO Secretariat at [email protected]

How to join the ccNSO?

STEP 1 | To facilitate your participation in the ccNSO, you will need an ICANN Account. This account is used by both the ccNSO and ICANN to manage participation. 

If you already have an ICANN Account (e.g., for registering at ICANN meetings), please login using the email address associated with your ccNSO work and ensure that your profile is up to date.
If you do not have an ICANN Account or are unsure, please create one at your earliest convenience.

STEP 2 | Complete the online application form to become a member of the ccNSO.

STEP 3 | The ccNSO Secretariat will confirm receipt of your application.

STEP 4 | The ccNSO Secretariat will keep you informed of the next steps. These include verification checks by IANA, and a formal approval of your membership application by the ccNSO Council.

STEP 5 | Once all checks are completed and the ccNSO Council approves your application, you will receive a confirmation email by the ccNSO Secretariat. The Chair of the ccNSO Council will then formally welcome you to the ccNSO via the ccNSO Members mailing list.

To support ccTLD Managers to become members of the ccNSO, the ccNSO Council adopted a generic template during its 211th meeting. This letter may be helpful for those ccTLD Managers who require formal documentation. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the ccNSO Secretariat
