The Council for European National Top Level Domain Registries (CENTR) is an association of Internet country code top-level domain registry (ccTLD) managers,[1] whose objective is to promote and participate in the development of high standards for ccTLDs.[2]

CENTR provides a forum to discuss matters of policy affecting ccTLD registries. It acts as a channel for communication between registries, Internet governing bodies, and other organisations involved with the Internet, and promotes the interests of not-for-profit ccTLDs, lobbying on their behalf.[3] It does not speak or act for individual registry managers. [4]

Although CENTR has a European focus, there are no geographical limitations on membership.

History[edit | edit source]

The project that was to become CENTR began as an offshoot of RIPE in March 1998 funded informally by participating registries. In 1999, CENTR was legally established in the UK as a non-profit company separate from RIPE, but in 2006 was relocated to Brussels, Belguim. CENTR activities are funded by membership fees and are performed by a secretariat based in Brussels.[5]
