| Explanation | PIR 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. PIR 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. PIR is not required to record such an obligation. | Explanation |

PIR PROVIDES WEBINARS AND FORUMS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE REGISTRY INDUSTRY, SUCH AS THE .ORG FORUM AND DNSSEC WEBINARS. MANAGING THE .ORG REGISTRY INCLUDES MAKING SURE OUR COMMUNITY HAS A VOICE IN CRITICAL ISSUES RELATED TO INTERNET POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. TO EFFECTIVELY REPRESENT SPECIFIC AND COLLECTIVE INTERESTS, .ORG RELIES ON THE INSIGHT AND KNOWLEDGE OF ITS ADVISORY COUNCIL, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND REGISTRARS. WORKING WITH THE ICANN, THE INTERNET SOCIETY (ISOC), TECHNICAL ENGINEERS AND VARIOUS INTERNET LEADERS AROUND THE WORLD, PIR INITIATES, SUPPORTS AND FUNDS INTERNET ENHANCEMENTS THAT MEET THE NEEDS AND GOALS OF .ORG CUSTOMERS. .ORG IS USED BY INDIVIDUALS, ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPANIES TO EDUCATE MOBILIZE AND EMPOWER THEIR COMMUNITIES.

| Comp. of Highest Paid Ind. Contractors | Form 990, Part VII,Section B: | Afilias LTD. (Afilias) provides registry technical services to PIR including electronic connection to customers (registrars), to add, modify or delete domain names within the .Org database. These services include 24/7, 365 days a year, technical support to Registrars, development of registry computer software systems including customer billing, and revenue recognition in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (GAAP). In addition, Afilias provides technical support in implementing PIR's domain name abuse policies designed to stop or reduce malware, virus or other activities. Also, Afilias collaborates with PIR on the analysis and discussion of customer and business trends both domestically and internationally. Starting in 2009, PIR 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, PIR'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. PIR found that the fees paid to Afilias would still be within the range of Fair Market Value for the services rendered. |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTING | FORM 990 PART XI, LINE 2D: | The Public Interest Registry issues audited financial statements on a separate basis. Additionally, PIR's financial results are included in a consolidated audited financial statement report issued by the Internet Society, PIR's sole member. |
