# ccNSO

Country Code Names Supporting Organization

The part of ICANN where ccTLD managers develop and recommend global policies for country code domains. Membership is voluntary, and most ccTLD rules remain local. It covers only the few issues that need a global approach, such as retiring ccTLDs.
