'''Public Interest Commitments''' (~~PICs~~) as ~~related to~~ [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD applicants]] ~~and~~ the [[Registry Agreement]] ~~they are~~ to ~~sign~~, ~~is a term and creation directly from~~ [[ICANN]]~~, first suggested~~ on February 5th, 2013, in ~~ICANN's~~ revised new registry agreement ~~that it opened for public comments~~.

'''Public Interest Commitments''' ('''PIC''') were developed as a way for [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD applicants]] to add provisions to the [[Registry Agreement]], as a way of demonstrating commitment to specific policies, philosophical standpoints, or other commitments to the public interest. It was proposed by [[ICANN]] on February 5th, 2013, in the draft revised new registry agreement.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/base-agreement-2013-02-05-en ICANN.org - Revised New gTLD Registry Agreement], February 5, 2013</ref>

PICs are voluntary amendments that applicants can create, sign, and undertake along with the general registry agreement in order to hold their registry operations to certain standards. They seem to originally have been developed as a way to allow applicants to appease [[GAC]] members that may be concerned about how their application stands as is, or how ICANN will be able to ensure a potential registry remains compliant with its aspirations and mandate as it defined in its summary of its proposed operations in the TLD application. Prior to PICs, there was no clear way of defining operating procedures when moving from the long form essays in the TLD application to the Registry Agreement.
