A few words from CENTR's General Manager
This year, CENTR is celebrating its 20th Anniversary. CENTR was legally established in the United Kingdom in 1999 under the name CENTR Ltd. Thanks to strong member support, CENTR has grown into a prominent association, providing a wide range of services to its members and the larger industry.
As a centre of intelligence, CENTR is especially pleased to be able to use this milestone to contribute to the knowledge base about the DNS and the broader industry by publishing a series of articles by authors who are experts in their fields. We hope that these publications will contribute to some interesting and necessary conversations in this time of change.
On this page you will find an overview of the articles, news and anniversary-related activities which will culminate in an Awards ceremony at the end of the year.
