The council of the country code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) - a global platform within ICANN - approved nic.at as the newest member on August 19, 2022. As the 173rd member, the ccNSO warmly welcomed .at to its membership and looks forward to a “fruitful collaboration”.

nic.at CEO Richard Wein sees many benefits in the membership and emphasizes that nic.at can in turn contribute valuable know-how, based on its more than 30 years of experience as a ccTLD. Together with DENIC (.de) and SWITCH (.ch), all ccTLDs from the DACH area are now represented within the ccNSO.

"I am pleased that this step allows us to once again consolidate and expand our long-standing and excellent cooperation with ICANN," says Richard Wein. He is convinced that nic.at can further deepen its interactions with other registries and relevant stakeholders worldwide as a result of membership.
