The .tz ccTLD Manager joins as newest member of the ccNSO

Date
27 November 2019

The Council of the country code Names Supporting Organisation (ccNSO) approved Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA), the ccTLD operator of .tz (Tanzania), as the newest ccNSO member. The ccNSO currently numbers 172 members. The ccNSO warmly welcomes .tz to its membership and looks forward to a fruitful collaboration.

Background

Following the recent transfer of the .tz ccTLD from Tanzania Network Information Center (tzNIC) to Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) - tzNIC is no longer the ccTLD Manager of .tr.

According to the ICANN Bylaws, ccNSO membership is limited to ccTLD Managers (originally Sponsoring Organisation), which are the entities listed as ccTLD Manager in the IANA TLD Delegation record. The ccNSO Council therefore concluded that the ccNSO membership of tzNIC has ended, after completion of the transfer process of .tz to TCRA
