''Public Interest Registry''' (PIR) is a [[gTLD|generic top-level Domain]] [[registry]] that manages the [[.org]] [[TLD|top level domain]]. The non-profit was established in January, 2003 by the Virginia-based [[ISOC|Internet Society]]. PIR was formed to take over the operation and maintenance of the .org domain and its database from VeriSign Global Registry Services, a division of [[VeriSign]]. The organization has its office in Reston, Virginia. The .org top-level domain was first created in October, 1984 by the [[IANA|Internet Assigned Numbers Authority]], as part of its implementation of the [[RFC]] 920. Though the RFC limited the scope of the .org domain to non-profit organizations or to organizations of a non-commercial nature, over time the scope of the domain has expanded to include any entity, whether organizational or individual, commercial or non-commercial. The first .org domain was registered by MITRE Corporation, a non-profit organization providing systems engineering and information technology support to the US government, on July 10, 1985.....[[Public Interest Registry|read more]]
