−	~~.NGO/.ONG: Changes to the Registration Validation Process~~
−
−	PIR implemented changes to the registration process for .NGO/.ONG domains that allow registrants to complete registration using self-certification instead of the former pre-validation process. Registrants no longer needs to leave the check-out flow to activate their domains.
−
−	~~Here are the changes:~~
−
−	* The domain name is live once registration is completed.
−	* The mandatory 2-year re-validation is no longer required.
−	* Resellers must add a checkbox for the self-certification during their checkout process with a link to the .NGO/.ONG Registration Policies:
−
−	~~''I, the registrant, understand and agree to the .NGO and .ONG Registration policies and certify that my organization meets the eligibility requirements therein.''~~
−
−	Please note that it is not the responsibility of the registrar to store the self-certification information. It is the registrant's responsibility to determine whether the domain name bundle registration infringes or violates someone else's rights. It is also the registrant's responsibility to determine whether the domain name bundle registration complies with the .NGO/.ONG registration policies.
−
−	~~PIR conducts random audits of .NGO/.ONG domain bundle registrations and reserves the right to cancel, transfer or modify a domain name in accordance with their policies.~~

-Registration of domains in .ngo|.ong are technically “bundled.” This means that by registering and purchasing a domain in the .ngo TLD, for example, the NGO registrant is also registering and purchasing the corresponding name in the .ong TLD (and vice-versa for registrations in .ong). The Registrant cannot, for example, purchase “example.ngo” by itself; by purchasing the domain “example.ngo” the Registrant is also necessarily purchasing the domain “example.ong” due to the technical bundling of domains in .ngo|.ong.
+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.
-* If the Registrant takes a particular action concerning the registration of a domain registered in .ngo (such as transferring or deleting the registration), the same action must also be taken for the corresponding .ong domain (and vice-versa).
+In addition, the registry has allocate new .ONG domains for all registrants of the .NGO and .ONG bundles which existed at that time.
-* If any Registry, Registrar or Service Provider policies change concerning a domain registered in .ngo (including, but not limited to, denying, suspending, revoking, transferring or modifying the information or services provided in relation to any domain name), the Registry, Registrar or Service Provider will necessarily take the same action against the corresponding domain registered in the .ong TLD (and vice-versa).
