Types of Membership

 

The IGSN e.V. offers two types of membership:

  • Full Membership is offered to organizations who wish to allocate IGSN names and commit to use the Registration Agency of IGSN in their capacity as allocating agents. Full Members should be actively working with data centres for the purpose of issuing IGSNs and are expected to attend the General Assembly meeting. Full members are expected to pay an annual membership.
  • Affiliate Membership is offered to organizations who have an interest in the purposes of the IGSN e.V. as defined in the statutes, but who will not use the Registration Agency of IGSN as allocating agents. Affiliate Members take on an advisory function and have the right to attend the General Assembly.
