The ccNSO Launching Group was established to facilitate the formation of the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) within the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Serving as a foundational body, the Launching Group played a pivotal role in defining the ccNSO's structure, operational guidelines, and its relationship with ICANN. Although the group has concluded its activities, the archived materials available here provide insights into the early stages of the ccNSO's development and its initial contributions to the global domain name system community.
