History: The Portuguese ccTLD, .PT, was run by the national NREN, FCCN. At the beginning of 2013, DNS.PT separated from FCCN when the latter was integrated into a Public Institute (FCT), and set up a nonprofit association for .PT management. The delegation made by IANA to FCCN in 1988 was transferred to this association. Thus, since May 9, 2013, the Portuguese registry is .PT, a private non-profit association, with the following members: FCT, IP – Foundation for Science and Technology, IP (FCT), Association of the Digital Economy (ACEPI), Portuguese Association for Consumer Protection (DECO)
