6 other nonprofits, plus others based in Greece.
Australian not-for-profit responsible for administering the .au domain, including licensing rules, eligibility and the direct .au second level. Its policies determine which country-targeted domains Australian businesses can hold, a foundational decision in Australian SEO domain strategy.
Regional Internet Registry responsible for allocating and managing IPv4, IPv6 and AS number resources across Africa. Its allocations determine which IP ranges geolocate to African countries, a signal search engines and analytics providers use when inferring a site's location and serving localised results.
Regional Internet Registry for the Asia Pacific, allocating and registering IP addresses and AS numbers and running measurement and research programmes. Its registry data drives the IP geolocation that search engines and analytics tools use to attribute traffic and sites to Asia-Pacific countries.
501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2007 by Gil Elbaz that crawls the web roughly monthly with CCBot and publishes free archives exceeding 10 petabytes, with over two billion pages per crawl. At least 64% of major language models trained between 2019 and 2023 used filtered Common Crawl data, so whether a site allows CCBot materially affects its presence in AI training corpora.
Cross-industry community promoting adoption of the C2PA Content Credentials standard and maintaining open-source tools for integrating provenance into websites, apps and services. It is the practical implementation arm publishers use to attach verifiable provenance to published media.
Nonprofit behind the world's most widely used open content licences, with tens of billions of works CC licensed. Its licences are the legal mechanism by which much of the freely reusable web, including Wikipedia and open datasets, can be crawled, republished and used to train models, and its work on preference signals for AI reuse is ongoing.
