In February 2013, PIR became the first major registry to begin offering pre-registration, also known as "expressions of interest" for its .ngo and [[.ong]] applications. The registry was forward with the fact that they would likely not be available until 2014, but the service acts as an alert function, updating potential applicants when their desired domain names will become available.<ref>[http://www.circleid.com/posts/20130219_pir_opens_call_for_expressions_of_interest_ngo_ong_domains/ PIR opens Call for Expressions of Interest NGO ONG, CircleID.com] Retrieved 20 Feb 2013</ref>
