CORE, or the Internet Council of Registrars, is a non-profit organization formed in 1996 based on the Generic Top Level Domains-Memorandum of Understanding (gTLD-MoU) for assisting the launch of new domain name spaces. It was created to administer the worldwide registration of new domain names on the internet. The original TLDs involved were: .firm, .shop, .web, .arts, .rec, .info, .cat and .nom.[1] It is an ICANN accredited registrar.
CORE has developed protocols and methodologies to facilitate domain registration, as well as a multi-protocol Shared Registration System (SRS) and registration gateway. SRS and Gateway help CORE members (Registrars) to register and maintain the domain names for their customers.[2] CORE has sponsored the 39th ICANN Meeting in Cartagena, Columbia, the 38th ICANN Meeting in Brussels, Belgium, and the 36th ICANN Meeting in Seoul, South Korea.[3]
History[edit | edit source]
CORE was launched through work with leaders in internet governance and liberalization, ISOC, and IANA in the fall 1996. The organization grew out of the gTLD-MoU, which involved hundreds of companies and individuals. Those involved with CORE's foundation believed that the internet was ill-equipped, from its inception as a mainly academic resource, to grow into its role as a community tool that needed more competition and de-regulation. CORE is funded by its registrars, 85 in international markets and 23 in the U.S., all of whom are dedicated to fairness and competition on the internet.[4]
Executive Committee[edit | edit source]
The latest CORE Executive Committee elections happened in July, 2007, via electronic vote.
