• World Wide Alliance of Top Level Domain-names
• Since 1998 the wwTLD have been providing for the
  community a website, mailing lists, organizing
  meetings and name server training
• By a collective effort of many, the ccTLD
  Managers have today an up to date archives of
  their activity, decisions and dissonances,
  documents and communiqués of all meetings since
  1999 on the www.wwtld.org website
• As said Budi Rahardjo from Indonesia about
  cctld-discuss list ... this mailing list is
  the only de facto global ccTLD community.
  Granted, it is an informal one. But if it serves
  the purpose, then so be it.
