History
CORE grew out of the Memorandum of Understanding, or MoU, which involved hundreds of companies and individuals. Those involved 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.[2]
