What is Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération?

AFNIC manages a general interest service. Therefore, it is at the crossroads of operators, Internet Service Providers, Internet users, public authorities as well as other national and international parties.

This privileged position and responsibility leads AFNIC to participate in the evolution of Internet governance and management. Thus, AFNIC is largely involved in the international relations chorus.

Through its missions, the international actions of AFNIC are focused on three main directions:

To contribute and participate to the global Internet governance and management (WSIS, ICANN, CENTR...)
To introduce new standards and services (IETF, RIPE NCC)
To transfer its knowledge and know-how (International College)
Over the past few years, the number of international meetings in which the domain name registries are involved is constantly increasing. This strong international activity demonstrates that domain name registries have a key role to play in the information society globalisation process.

90% of the profits generated by .fr domain names are donated to the Afnic Foundation for digital solidarity.
