RySG is the abbreviation for Registry Stakeholder Group. The RySG is a Stakeholder Group within the Contracted Parties House under ICANN's GNSO. It represents the interests of the gTLD Registries currently under the contract with ICANN and provides them with gTLD Registry Services. It also facilitates communication among the gTLD Registries and puts forward the views of the Registry Constituency to the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board of Directors, with a special emphasis on ICANN consensus policies, which relate to the technical reliability, interoperability and the stable operation of the Internet or DNS.[1]
Organization and Membership of the RySG
The membership of the RySG is open to all the Registries. Registries must apply for membership via the application process. Every Registry needs to identify a Voting Delegate and, if desired, alternate Voting Delegates.
Funding
Funding for the RySG is provided by its members. Every member joining the Group needs to pay an initial membership fee as well as a fixed annual membership fee and a variable annual membership fee as per the schedule of the RySG. A member loses its voting rights if it fails to pay the fees as previously invoiced within thirty days after a written notice of non-payment.[2]

Executive Committee
The RySG consists of an Executive Committee, which is comprised of a Chair, an Alternate Chair, and a Treasurer.
