1998 - RESTENA cofounds the “Council of European National Top-Level Domain Name Registries” (CENTR). CENTR is a non-profit organisation bringing together the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) registration bodies in the expanded Europe. Its objective is to encourage cooperation between national domain name authorities and to get them involved in actions relating to matters of common interest.
