CENTR has two types of Members (Full Members and Associate Members) and can grant Observer status to organisations with which it maintains a close relationship. Applicants should complete the application form and return it to the CENTR Secretariat. All applications are voted on by the members during the General Assembly.
Full Member
Full Membership is open to organisations, corporate bodies or individuals that operate a country code top level domain registry. Registries that qualify for Full Membership are asked to voluntarily select from 11 fee bands (the most appropriate to their situation).
CENTR Fee Bands:
Band 1: EUR 3,823
Band 2: EUR 6,641
Band 3: EUR 10,695
Band 4: EUR 15,939
Band 5: EUR 21,385
Band 6: EUR 25,236
Band 7: EUR 29,782
Band 8: EUR 38,191
Band 9: EUR 48,879
Band 10: EUR 56,306
Band 11: EUR 66,412
Associate Member
Associate membership of the association may be given to any organisation or corporate body that operates an internet domain registry and that the General Assembly considers that CENTR would benefit from such bodies or organisations becoming members of CENTR.
Applications are restricted to non-European ccTLDs and gTLDs with strong connections to Europe (such as city and regional TLDs), and are restricted to six per calendar year allowing applicants to present their organisation at the General Assembly.
Associate Members are welcome to choose their membership fee in line with the self-selection mechanism applicable for full members. The minimum fee for Associate Members is 9,298 EUR.
The membership term of associate members is three years, after which the membership expires and a new request to become an associate member may be submitted.
Observer
Observer status may be given to corporate bodies or legal representatives representing such bodies if, at its sole discretion, the General Assembly considers that the association would benefit from such bodies or individuals having Observer status. No person or corporate body who qualifies for full or associate membership shall be appointed as an Observer.
The Observership will be reviewed by the members on a yearly basis.
