FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION:	PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY'S MISSION IS TO SUPPORT AND TO ASSIST ITS SOLE MEMBER, THE INTERNET SOCIETY, ACHIEVE ITS IMPORTANT AND SIGNIFICANT CHARITABLE MISSION, IN AMONG OTHER WAYS, BY OPERATING THE .ORG AND OTHER TOP LEVEL DOMAINS AS AN INTERNET INDUSTRY MODEL AND TO SERVE IN OTHER WAYS TO ENCOURAGE AND PROMOTE THE OPEN DEVELOPMENT, EVOLUTION, AND USE OF THE INTERNET FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:	In collaboration with and in support of its sole member, the Internet Society ("ISOC"), Public Interest Registry's ("PIR") primary activity is to maintain the .ORG domain registry as the exemplary top-level domain registry service; to operate it primarily in the public interest; and to be responsive to the issues and needs of the ever expanding and unique worldwide .ORG community, which includes non-commercial/non-profit users and organizations, consistent with the fundamental objectives of its sole member, ISOC. As an integral part of its charitable mission, PIR maintains and operates the .ORG top-level domain registry in a fashion that is designed to set the quality, efficiency, and privacy standards for top-level domains. PIR works to create, develop, modernize, and keep current ethical, practical, and technical policies, procedures and protocols required to keep its operational model fresh, relevant, and appropriate as an example for the Internet industry as a whole. Managing and operating the .ORG registry consistent with and supportive of PIR's and ISOC's respective non-profit missions and in compliance with the rules and consensus policies developed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") also requires collaborating with the worldwide non-commercial/non-profit oriented community. PIR maintains an advisory council composed of knowledgeable industry experts and leaders from global nonprofit and non-governmental arenas to help PIR support its community. PIR relies on the insight and knowledge obtained from the members of its advisory council and a constant stream of information solicited and received from registrars, as well as from the members of its own diverse and knowledgeable board of directors, to effectively address the interests of the worldwide mission-based Internet community. PIR also conducts education and outreach (E&O) in the global non-profit and non-governmental organization (NGO) space. These efforts have two purposes: first, to support and assist PIR achieve its important and charitable mission; and second, to share its expertise as an exemplary domain name registry as well as to help other organizations share their expertise by conducting conferences, regional gatherings, and training sessions focused on improving use of the Internet, especially by mission-based users around the world. In 2019 PIR began reframing its E&O efforts in furtherance of its Mission Statement, i.e., to serve as "[a]n exemplary domain name registry and industry thought leader providing a trusted digital identity and serving as a valued resource to those working to improve our world." While supporting ISOC remains a core PIR mission and activity, PIR has expanded the scope of its E&O activities into what can be better described as "Exemplary Domain Name Registry" initiatives, including: -- PIR created the "DNS Abuse Institute" in order to help the entire domain name industry improve practices to combat abuses of the domain name system ("DNS Abuse"). The DNS Abuse Institute ("DNSAI") is a department within PIR and has three pillars: Education, Innovation and Collaboration. The DNSAI creates and publishes best practices to help educate registries and registrars on effective DNS Abuse mitigation and prevention practices. DNSAI has already launched two flagship initiatives aimed to reduce DNS Abuse across the Internet. First, DNSAI created the very first centralized DNS Abuse reporting tool called NetBeacon. NetBeacon(TM) allows for law enforcement, security professionals, and the public at large to report instances of DNS Abuse and NetBeacon will then route the notification to the proper registrar that sponsors the domain. NetBeacon was developed in conjunction with CleanDNS and is completely free to use for both reporters and domain name registrars DNSAI also launched DNSAI: Compass (TM), which helps measure where DNS Abuse is located and centralized across the DNS. DNSAI published its methodology for measuring DNS Abuse and has begun publishing its reports on levels of phishing and malware across the DNS. Like NetBeacon, the DNSAI: Compass reports are offered at no cost. Finally, DNSAI also regularly publishes best practices for registrars and registries for the identification and mitigation of DNS Abuse. -- PIR co-chairs the Contracted Parties House DNS Abuse Working Group, where domain name registrars and registries can discuss developments and best practices related to DNS Abuse identification, mitigation, and prevention. -- PIR previously spearheaded development of the "Framework to Address Abuse", which informs domain name registries and registrars how to best address DNS Abuse and egregious forms of abuse such as Child Sexual Abuse Materials ("CSAM"). -- Continued leadership in the industry's CSAM Referral Discussion Group, a collaborative group of registries, registrars, law enforcement and child safety watchdog groups with a mission to better develop practices to fight CSAM online. -- PIR's Quality Performance Index (QPI) initiative showcases PIR's industry leadership by focusing on maintaining the quality of the .ORG domain name space. QPI was created to encourage quality domain name registrations and lower the instances of abuses in the domain name system. The score calculated from the QPI algorithm can be used for a variety of purposes, including determining eligibility for a variety of PIR channel and marketing programs. PIR has presented QPI to other domain name registries and registrars to encourage them to create and roll out similar programs. The QPI program continues to receive positive feedback from registrars, the ICANN community, and the larger domain name ecosystem. -- PIR launched the .ORG Learning Center in October 2020. This educational hub provides a variety of free information and tools that every .ORG needs to be successful online. This now includes over 100 original articles, videos, podcasts and webinar recordings on the essentials for establishing and growing an online presence as well as networking, team building, branding, fundraising, and compliance. -- In 2022, our annual .ORG Impact Awards (OIAs) continued to recognize individuals and organizations that have a connection to a registered .ORG domain for their contributions, achievements, and impact they have made in their communities. With the global community still reeling from the effects of the pandemic, the celebration was once again held entirely online - yet we still managed to increase overall submissions by 49%, with a total of 947 .ORGs applying for the 2022 awards. In November, we crowned 7 category winners and one .ORG of the Year (Food Rescue Hero) and to date, the .ORG Impact Awards has now recognized 155 incredible organizations with a .ORG domain from over 60 countries and awarded $325,000 USD to support their impactful work taking place around the world. -- In 2022, PIR released 6 .ORG Stories, featuring winners from our 2021 .ORG Impact Awards program. Late in 2022, we rebranded our .ORG Stories program to ORG In Action, expanding the scope of the initiative to include more robust articles that include a variety of content, including videos, interviews, profiles, and more. The rebranding also paves the way for us to include organizations that leverage one or more of the .ORG Family of Domains, such as .FOUNDATION or .CHARITY. -- In 2022, PIR launched .ORG Origins comprised of four long-form video episodes chronicling the development and growth of the Shared Humanity Project, a series of four in-depth articles, "Mentor Moment" video interviews with the leaders of former .ORG Impact award finalists and winners, and related tools and resources from the .ORG Learning Center. The goal of this program was to take an insightful look at the evolution of an up-and coming organization, providing the .ORG Community with a unique perspective at what it takes to create a mission-driven group and by example show how they can apply the teachings, experiences, and lessons learned to their own organizations. -- PIR also continued to collaborate on learning opportunities with regional partners. For example, we were an early supporter of the Latin America and Caribbean Top-Level Domains (LACTLD) Association's workshops to help law enforcement authorities learn about the DNS, the organizations that make up this ecosystem, and mechanisms to address objectionable content online. PIR staff has participated in several workshops over the years, including in 2022, to provide the perspective of a registry operator and our available courses of action. These ongoing workshops remain a unique opportunity to educate non-domain industry actors about DNS abuse and mitigation efforts-and the limits of what a registry can do.
