ccNSO was founded in 2003 as a body within ICANN, providing a forum in which the representatives of national Internet registries could meet and discuss current issues which were of importance for ccTLDs at the global level. Through ccNSO, consensus and technical partnership are established and know-how exchanged regarding best practice in the administration of national Internet domains.

RNIDS is a member of ccNSO.
