.ong

.ong is a community generic top-level domain operated by Public Interest Registry for non-governmental organizations. “ONG” is the abbreviation commonly used for an NGO in several languages, including French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian contexts.

Registration is limited to organizations that satisfy PIR's NGO eligibility policy. Registrants must certify that they meet seven characteristics, including acting in the public interest, being nonprofit or nonprofit-focused, maintaining limited government influence, operating independently, being active and structured, and acting lawfully.

PIR can audit registrations and request evidence of NGO status. The registry also restricts name selection to names connected with the organization, such as its name, acronym, mission or activities. A registrant that fails the eligibility requirements can lose the domain.

This makes .ong useful for qualifying organizations that want a verified community-oriented identity rather than a general organizational label. VYR classifies .ong as restricted because formal NGO eligibility and audit rules apply.
