The .coop top-level domain (TLD) is a sponsored domain created for cooperatives and cooperative organizations worldwide. Established in 2001, the .coop TLD is managed by DotCooperation LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA). The NCBA is committed to using the surplus revenues earned from the registry to support cooperatives in underdeveloped countries through the Digital Divide Fund. The International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) is responsible for global marketing and outreach of the .coop sTLD. The domain was created during ICANN's TLD expansion program in 2000, and it is one of seven sponsored top-level domains delegated in the DNS root zone.
The ownership of a .coop domain is restricted to cooperatives, cooperative support organizations, and businesses owned by cooperatives. Registrations are verified, and all registrants are required to submit an affirmation of membership from two cooperative organizations in their country or region. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) handles all disputes under the .coop domain name space. There are several accredited registrars for .coop, including EuroDNS, EnCirca, Names, Beyond Secura Gmbh (DOMAINREGISTRY.DE), AB Name, ISPGood, Domains.coop, Tuonome.it, Firstserver, and Gandi SAS. There are no known restrictions on the renewal or transfer of .coop domains, as long as the registrant continues to meet the eligibility requirements.
