Decentralize the power behind every IP address.
Your customers, revenue and continuity depend on IP addresses. Registry decisions can put that business at risk. NRS brings operators together through evidence, member-authorised representation and collective action to change the institutions they depend on.
Understand NRS Shield
Understand the risk. Build collective leverage before a dispute becomes a continuity crisis.
From individual risk to collective power.
Understand your exposure
A dispute over resource recognition can become a crisis for the business behind the network. Examine your RIR’s rules and compare acting alone with coordinated member action.

Representation
A voice entrusted by members
Meet the organisations publicly listed as having authorised NRS to represent them in RIR governance matters.
A shared mandate is a basis for collective action. The work and its results remain open to scrutiny.
See the representation recordA global Internet needs a global voice for reform.
The Internet connects the world through independent networks. Its number-resource governance should be equally resilient. NRS advocates structural reform so that coordination cannot become a single point of control over those networks.
We turn that conviction into public advocacy, evidence and collective participation. Our charter sets out the mission; our work gives resource holders a voice in changing the institutions on which they depend.
Our principles
One Internet. One world.
Keep global connectivity unified and resist fragmentation.
Open, autonomous infrastructure
Defend networks’ freedom to operate and the openness of the Internet.
Decentralized governance with AI
Advance governance that reduces dependence on discretionary human control.
