Advantages of being a CORE member

  1. COREhub registrar services are available to CORE members and non-members alike. CORE members, however, always benefit from the best prices.
  2. CORE is built on democratic consensus, where proposals are debated by all the members. Each member has a right to vote (all votes have the same weight) and to propose new ideas.
  3. CORE outsources a good part of its technical developments to members to develop member’s involvement in CORE and take advantage of joint experience and knowledge.
  4. CORE’s Executive Committee represents the members’ interests in all the important meetings (ICANN, EFTF, WHD, GDD Summit).
1 USD 500 for applicants from countries with a GDP below USD 15000 as per the current list of the International Monetary Fund.
