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]
History edit
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.[3]
Members edit
As of January 2011, CENTR consists of 49 members.[4]
