October 24, 1997: CORE Press Release: "CORE has Announced the Signing 
of a Letter of Intent with Emergent Corporation" for the development 
and operation of the Shared Registry System (SRS).  The SRS is the 
neutral, shared database repository that co-ordinates registrations 
from CORE registrars and causes names to enter the global Internet 
Domain Name System (DNS). See http://www.gtld-mou.org/press/core-1.html
and http://www.emergent.com

CORE is the entity comprising registrars selected under the international 
gTLD-MoU process. Formed on October 3, 1997, CORE now comprises more 
than 73 registrars (see http://www.gtld-mou.org/docs/reg-results.html) 
actively working towards deploying structures for the administration and 
enhancement of the DNS.
