Additional Information
The domains .ngo and .ong will be offered as a technical bundle – registration of one automatically includes the other. A technical bundle is a set of two domain names in different TLDs, with identical second level labels which have shared parameters
Example:
example.ngo and example.ong will consist of a Technical bundle, and will conform to a shared set of parameters.
NOTE:
- There are seven criterias that are used to define an NGO or ONG organization for the purpose of validation:
- Focused on acting in the public interest. Whether in support of education or health, the environment or human rights, members of the .ngo|.ong community work for the good of humankind and/or the preservation of the planet and do not promote discrimination or bigotry.
- Non-profit making/non-profit focused entities. While many NGOs and ONGs engage in commercial activities or generate revenue in support of their missions, members of the .ngo|.ong community do not recognize profits or retain earnings.
- Limited government influence. Recognizing that many .ngo|.ong organisations have important interactions with government, not least for reasons of funding (which may include receipt of some government funding in support of their programs,) members of the .ngo|.ong community decide their own policies, direct their own activities and are independent of direct government or political control.
- Independent actors. Members of the .ngo|.ong community should not be political parties nor should be a part of any government. Participation in the work of a.ngo|.ong is voluntary.
- Active Organisations. Members of the .ngo|.ong community are actively pursuing their missions on a regular basis.
- Structured. Members of the .ngo|.ong community, whether large or small, operate in a structured manner (e.g., under bylaws, codes of conduct, organizational standards, or other governance structures.)
- Lawful. Members of the .ngo|.ong community act with integrity within the bounds of law.
NOTE:
Post-Registration Validation: You will be provided with a Validation Link post-purchase of the domain. The domain bundle will be placed on serverLock until the post-registration validation process has been successfully completed. A Registrant has 360 days from the date of domain creation to complete the validation process. Failure to complete the process within the given time frame will result in the domain getting deleted and the registration amount being forfeit.
NOTE:
Modification of a contact for a .ngo domain will result in the modification of a contact for a .ong domain as well and vice-versa.
If the modification of the contact for the domain bundle entails a change of ownership, contact our Support Team at https://whmcs.abacohosting.com. The Support Team will provide the Registrant with the new validation link to complete the change of ownership.
