'''ONG is the abbreviated translation for non-governmental organisation (NGO) in romance languages'''.  ONG or NGO stands for non-governmental organisation. NGOs & ONGs are organisations whose mission and activities are broadly centered on improving the human condition and, are non-governmental, non-profit and non-criminal.

= Registration Eligibility and Validation =

The Registry uses seven distinct characteristics to define an NGO: registrant hereby certifies that it meets the following .NGO and .ONG eligibility requirements when it purchases its .NGO and .ONG domain name(s):

* '''Focused on acting in the public interest'''. Whether in support of education or health, the environment or human rights, members of the .NGO and .ONG community work for the good of humankind and/or the preservation of the planet and do not promote discrimination or bigotry.
* '''Non-profit focused entities'''. While many NGOs engage in commercial activities or generate revenue in support of their missions, members of the .NGO and .ONG community do not recognize profits or retain earnings.
* '''Limited government influence*'''. Recognizing that many NGOs have important interactions with government (which may include receipt of government funding in support of their programs), members of the .NGO and .ONG community decide their own policies, direct their own activities, and are independent of direct government or political control.
* '''Independent actors*'''. Members of the .NGO and .ONG community should not be political parties nor should be a part of any government. Participation in the work of an .NGO and .ONG is voluntary.
* '''Active Organisations'''. Members of the .NGO and .ONG community are actively pursuing their missions on a regular basis. Members must also actively use the .NGO or .ONG domain name in the DNS (i.e., developed website, email services). 
* '''Structured'''. Members of the .NGO and .ONG community, whether large or small, operate in a structured manner (e.g., under bylaws, codes of conduct, organizational standards, or other governance structures).
* '''Lawful'''. Members of the .NGO and .ONG community act with integrity within the bounds of law.

PIR has determined that organizations formed under the laws of the Peopleâs Republic of China (or any territory thereof) do not meet the criteria âLimited Government Influenceâ and âIndependent Actors.â Accordingly, prospective registrants from China and its territories should not register .NGO and .ONG as they will not meet PIRâs Eligibility Requirements. In the event PIR discovers that a .NGO or .ONG domain name is registered by an organization organized under the laws of the Peopleâs Republic of China (or any territory thereof), PIR will delete the domain name for failing to meet our Eligibility Requirements.

PIR is a U.S. company subject to U.S. laws. Registrant hereby certifies that neither it nor any of its subsidiaries or, to its knowledge, any director, officer, or employee of registrant or any of its subsidiaries is a person who (a) is the target of any laws administered by the United States Department of the Treasuryâs Office of Foreign Assets Control (âOFACâ) or any other United States governmental entity imposing economic sanctions and trade embargoes, or (b) is located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the target of sanctions imposed by OFAC or any other United States governmental entity. Registrant understands and agrees that PIR does not permit registrations from registrants residing in or organized under any such country in the .NGO and .ONG TLDs. In the event PIR discovers that any .NGO or .ONG domain name is registered by a registrant that would not be permitted by any OFAC restrictions (or other restrictions imposed by U.S. law), PIR will delete the domain name.

= Technical Bundling with .NGO =

Please note that the TLDs .ONG and .NGO are no longer included in one registration. On June 1st 2022, the responsible registry has separated .NGO and .ONG domains. Since then, registrants are able to register .NGO and .ONG domains separately. In addition, the registry has allocate new .ONG domains for all registrants of the .NGO and .ONG bundles which existed at that time.
