CORE, or the Internet Council of Registrars, is a non-profit organisation based in Switzerland. It was created to administer the worldwide registration of new domain names on the internet. Formed in 1996, based on the Generic Top Level Domains-Memorandum of Understanding (gTLD-MoU) for assisting the launch of new domain name spaces.

The association is aimed at preserving, developing and sharing resources for names and identifiers on the Internet. It recognises that names and identifiers are a public good and must be part of a unified environment that can be accessed and trusted by everyone. It works towards these aims by developing standards, software and services.

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 and partners to register and maintain the domain names for their customers through the CORE subsidiary ICANN-accredited registrar COREhub. COREhub operates a neutral shared channel connecting registries to registrars for all existing gTLDs and many ccTLDs.
