| ==Affiliated Stakeholder Groups== | | ==Associations== |
| Due to the structure of RySG and ICANN following the start of the [[New gTLD Program]], applicants who would potentially become registries if their applications were approved were allowed to join RySG as Observer members. To better represent their own unique perspectives within ICANN, they formed their own [[SG|Stakeholder Group]], the [[NTAG|New Top-Level Domain Applicant Group]] (or NTAG], organized as a Stakeholder Group under RySG. There are smaller groups inside of NTAG as well, created to better represent their members: the [[CTAG|Community Top-Level Domain Applicant Group]] (CTAG) and the [[GTAG|Geographic Top-Level Domain Applicant Group]] (GeoTAG). At the moment, these are much more informal groups.<ref>RySG Biweekly Conference Call, 14 November 2012</ref>
| | The RySG has two Associations within their membership: [https://brandregistrygroup.org/ Brand Registry Group] (BRG) and the [http://geotld.group/ GeoTLD Group]. |
