| Explanation | Public Interest Registry is exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is classified as an organization which is not a private foundation as defined by Section 509. No material taxable unrelated business income was generated and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Public Interest Registry follows the accounting guidance that creates a single model to address uncertainty in income tax positions and clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in its consolidated financial statements. Under the requirements of this guidance, organizations could now be required to record an obligation as the result of income tax positions they have historically taken on various tax exposure items. Public Interest Registry is not required to record such an obligation. | ExplanationTxt |

| Form 990, Part VI, Lines 15a & 15b | IT IS THE DESIRE OF PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY TO COMPENSATE EACH OF ITS OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES AT A LEVEL THAT REPRESENTS THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THAT PERSON'S SERVICES, AND DOES NOT EXCEED SUCH FAIR MARKET VALUE, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ALL FRINGE BENEFITS AS WELL AS CASH COMPENSATION. IN 2013, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY HIRED AN OUTSIDE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO ANALYZE COMPARABLE DATA RELATING TO THE COMPENSATION OF ITS CEO, AND THE COMPENSATION OF ITS OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES. THE CEO STUDY WAS PERFORMED SEPARATELY. IN THE CASE OF THE CEO, THE CONSULTANT USED A COMPARATIVE SURVEY IN THE WASHINGTON, D.C. METRO AREA, LOOKING AT A MIX OF INDUSTRIES AND SIZES OF ORGANIZATIONS, BOTH NON-PROFIT AND FOR-PROFIT. THE CONSULTANT ANALYZED THE COMPENSATION RECEIVED BY SIMILARLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS HOLDING COMPARABLE POSITIONS AT SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS. THE CEO COMPENSATION COMMITTEE DISCUSSED AND ANALYZED THE CONSULTANT'S REPORT AND OTHER INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND MADE ITS RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BASED ON THOSE FINDINGS. AFTER DETAILED DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION AMONG BOARD MEMBERS, THE RECOMMENDATION WAS ACCEPTED AND THE DELIBERATION AND DECISION-MAKING PROCESS DOCUMENTED IN THE BOARD'S ANNUAL MINUTES. IN THE CASE OF THE COMPENSATION OF OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES THE CONSULTANT USED BOTH (1) A COMPARATIVE SURVEY IN THE WASHINGTON, D.C. METRO AREA, LOOKING AT A MIX OF INDUSTRIES AND SIZES OF ORGANIZATIONS, BOTH NON-PROFIT AND FOR-PROFIT, AND (2) A LARGE NATIONAL SURVEY THAT ALSO COVERED A MIX OF INDUSTRIES AND SIZES OF ORGANIZATIONS, BOTH NON-PROFIT AND FOR-PROFIT. THE CONSULTANT ANALYZED THE COMPENSATION RECEIVED BY SIMILARLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS HOLDING COMPARABLE POSITIONS AT SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS. THE CONSULTANT THEN DISCUSSED THE DATA AND ITS FINDINGS WITH PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY'S INTERNAL COMPENSATION REVIEW COMMITTEE. THE INTERNAL COMPENSATION REVIEW COMMITTEE FOLLOWED THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE OUTSIDE CONSULTANT, AND SET COMPENSATION LEVELS WITHIN THE RANGE OF FAIR MARKET VALUE COMPENSATION, AS DETERMINED BY THE CONSULTANT. THE CEO ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE PROCESS OF SETTING THE COMPENSATION OF THE OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, BUT NOT HIS OWN COMPENSATION. BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN THE LEVEL OF FORMAL DOCUMENTATION PREPARED, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY HAS ANSWERED LINE 15A "YES", AND LINE 15B "NO". WE ARE REVISING OUR PROCESS SO THAT NEXT YEAR, WE EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER "YES" TO BOTH. |

(AFILIAS) PROVIDES REGISTRY TECHNICAL SERVICES TO PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY INCLUDING ELECTRONIC CONNECTION TO CUSTOMERS (REGISTRARS), TO ADD, MODIFY OR DELETE DOMAIN NAMES WITHIN THE .ORG DATABASE.

ALSO, AFILIAS COLLABORATES WITH PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY ON THE ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF CUSTOMER AND BUSINESS TRENDS BOTH DOMESTICALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. STARTING IN 2009, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY COMMISSIONED A CONSULTANT TO DETERMINE IF THE PROPOSED CONTRACT EXTENSION IN DISCUSSION WITH AFILIAS REPRESENTED A FAIR MARKET PRICE. THE CONSULTANT CONCLUDED THAT THE FEES PAID TO AFILIAS UNDER THE PROPOSED EXTENSION WERE A FAIR MARKET PRICE. THE STUDY WAS EXTENSIVE AND COMPARED THE PROPOSED FEES FOR THE SERVICES TO BE RENDERED TO OTHER SIMILAR REGISTRIES THAT HAD AT LEAST 3 MILLION DOMAIN NAMES UNDER MANAGEMENT. IN EARLY 2012, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY'S BOARD INITIATED AN INTERNAL UPDATE OF THIS STUDY, AND AGAIN COMPARED THE FEE STRUCTURE, INCLUDING FEES THAT WOULD ACCRUE TO AFILIAS AS A RESULT OF A PRICE INCREASE FOR DOMAIN NAMES. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY FOUND THAT THE FEES PAID TO AFILIAS WOULD STILL BE WITHIN THE RANGE OF FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED. |
