Return Reference	Explanation
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 6, ESTIMATE OF VOLUNTEERS	PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY HAS 13 VOLUNTEERS WHO ACT AS AN ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR THE ORGANIZATION. THE COUNCIL IS COMPOSED OF LEADERS FROM A BROAD SPECTRUM OF THE NONCOMMERCIAL ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE WORLD, AND WAS CREATED TO ADVISE ON ISSUES RANGING FROM PUBLIC POLICY TO THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW SERVICES. THEIR PERSPECTIVES, REPRESENTING THE VOICE OF THE GLOBAL NONCOMMERCIAL COMMUNITY, PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN THE LONG-TERM SUCCESS OF PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6	PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY IS A MEMBERSHIP CORPORATION AND ITS ONLY MEMBER IS THE INTERNET SOCIETY (ISOC), WHICH IS CLASSIFIED AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER CODE SECTION 501(C)(3).
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7A	THE INTERNET SOCIETY APPOINTS THE MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING BODY.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7B	THE FOLLOWING DECISIONS OF THE GOVERNING BODY ARE SUBJECT TO THE MEMBER'S APPROVAL: (1) AMENDMENT, REVOCATION OR REPEAL OF THE BYLAWS; (2) ENTERING INTO, AMENDING, TERMINATING, ASSIGNING, OR BRINGING ANY LEGAL ACTION WITH RESPECT TO, OR WAIVING ANY MATERIAL RIGHT UNDER, AND AGREEMENT OR CONTRACT WITH (I) THE INTERNET CORPORATION FOR ASSIGNED NAMES AND NUMBERS (ICANN) OR (II) AFILIAS LIMITED; AND (III) PAYMENT, CONTRIBUTION OR SUBVENTION OF ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF $50,000 TO ANY PERSON, ENTITY OR ORGANIZATION, CHARITABLE OR OTHERWISE, OTHER THAN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OF GOODS OR SERVICES RECEIVED BY THE CORPORATION.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11	THE IRS FORM 990 IS PREPARED AND REVIEWED BY AN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM MCGLADREY LLP, WITH SUBSEQUENT REVIEW BY THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND LEGAL COUNSEL. ONCE REVIEWED AND FINALIZED, THE FORM 990 IS SENT TO EACH BOARD MEMBER. PRIOR TO FILING, THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED AT A BOARD MEETING, WITH A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING FIRM PRESENT TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS. SUBSEQUENT TO THE BOARD'S REVIEW AND THE RESOLUTION OF ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, THE FORM 990 IS FILED.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C	PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY REQUIRES DISCLOSURE OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST ON THE PART OF AN OFFICER, DIRECTOR, MANAGER, OR MEMBER OF A COMMITTEE WITH BOARD-DELEGATED POWERS. AN INTERESTED PERSON MUST DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE OF THE FINANCIAL INTEREST, AND MUST DISCLOSE ALL MATERIAL FACTS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND/OR THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE WITH BOARD-DELEGATED POWERS CONCERNING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT. THE DISINTERESTED MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE WILL DETERMINE WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS, AFTER CONSIDERING ALL MATERIAL FACTS, AND AFTER A DISCUSSION WITH THE INTERESTED PERSON. THE INTERESTED PERSON WILL BE REQUIRED TO LEAVE THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE MEETING WHILE THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE DISCUSSES THE MATTER AND VOTES ON WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. IF A BOARD MEMBER OR A COMMITTEE MEMBER IS DETERMINED TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, HE OR SHE IS REQUIRED TO LEAVE THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE MEETING WHILE THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE DISCUSSES, DELIBERATES ON, AND VOTES ON, THE TRANSACTION IN QUESTION.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A	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 INDIVIDUAL'S SERVICES, AND DOES NOT EXCEED SUCH FAIR MARKET VALUE, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ALL FRINGE BENEFITS AS WELL AS TOTAL CASH COMPENSATION. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY HAS ESTABLISHED A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF VARIOUS MEMBERS OF ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS. IN 2013, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY ENGAGED AN OUTSIDE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO ANALYZE COMPARABLE DATA RELATING TO THE COMPENSATION OF ITS CEO, AS WELL AS ITS OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES. SUCH COMPENSATION ASSESSMENTS ARE TYPICALLY CONDUCTED BY THE COMPANY EVERY TWO YEARS WITH THE NEXT STUDY PLANNED FOR 2015. WITH REGARD TO THE CEO, THE CONSULTANT IS USING 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 ANALYZES THE COMPENSATION RECEIVED BY SIMILARLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS HOLDING COMPARABLE POSITIONS AT SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REVIEWED 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 VOTED ON AND ACCEPTED BY THE FULL BOARD AND CONTEMPERANEOUSLY DOCUMENTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD MEETING. DURING 2014, COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO WAS BASED ON THE 2013 STUDY. SIMILARLY, THE CEO PARTICIPATED IN THE PROCESS OF SETTING THE COMPENSATION OF THE OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, BUT NOT HIS OWN COMPENSATION. FOR 2013, THE CEO REVIEWED AND ANALYZED THE CONSULTANT'S REPORT AND OTHER INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND APPROVED CERTAIN COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENTS FOR CERTAIN OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES. DURING 2014, COMPENSATION FOR THE OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES WAS BASED ON THE 2013 STUDY WHILE ALSO TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE IMPACT OF INFLATION AND COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENTS FOR 2014 BASED UPON FORMAL DATA SOURCES AVAILABLE FOR LIKE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WASHINGTON, D.C. METRO AREA. 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.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19	THE 990 IS DISTRIBUTED TO GUIDESTAR AND IS FREELY AVAILABLE ON THEIR WEBSITE. IN ADDITION PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY MAKES ITS 990 RETURN AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC UPON WRITTEN REQUEST. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY MAKES THESE DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

(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. 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 PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY'S DOMAIN NAME ABUSE POLICIES DESIGNED TO STOP OR REDUCE MALWARE, VIRUS OR OTHER ACTIVITIES.

IN 2014, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH AFILIAS UNDER WHICH AFILIAS MAINTAINS AND PROVIDES PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY WITH ACCESS TO A DATABASE CONTAINING LISTS OF NGOS FOR VALIDATION PURPOSES. ADDITIONALLY, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY ENTERED INTO A SEPARATE AGREEMENT WITH AFILIAS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF THE ONGOOD PLATFORM. 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 ARE STILL WITHIN THE RANGE OF FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED.
FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2B	THE PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY ISSUES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON A SEPARATE BASIS. ADDITIONALLY, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY'S FINANCIAL RESULTS ARE INCLUDED IN A CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT REPORT ISSUED BY THE INTERNET SOCIETY, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY'S SOLE MEMBER.

	SEE SCHEDULE OPUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY'S PRIMARY ACTIVITY IS TO MAINTAIN THE .ORG DOMAIN REGISTRY AS THE EXEMPLARY TOP LEVEL DOMAIN (TLD) REGISTRY SERVICE, BY ADVOCATING FOR HIGHER STANDARDS OF INTERNET SECURITY, SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY'S MISSION IS TO FACILITATE THE EFFECTIVE USE OF A GLOBAL INTERNET AMONG NON-COMMERCIAL AND OTHER INTERNET USERS WORLDWIDE. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY IS COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING ISOC'S GOALS OF ENCOURAGING THE EVOLUTION OF THE INTERNET AS A RESEARCH, EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE EQUALLY ACCESSIBLE TO THE GLOBAL NON-COMMERCIAL, NGO AND NON-PROFIT COMMUNITY.IN 2011, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY INITIATED ACTIVITY RESPONDING TO THE INTERNET CORPORATION FOR ASSIGNED NAMES AND NUMBERS (ICANN) INITIATIVE TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF GENERIC TLDS AVAILABLE IN THE INTERNET IN AN EFFORT TO INCREASE COMPETITION, ENHANCE CONSUMER CHOICE, AND ENABLE INNOVATION. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY ENGAGED IN EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH MEMBERS OF THE GLOBAL NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION ("NGO") COMMUNITY ABOUT THEIR INTEREST IN AND SUPPORT FOR A UNIQUE .NGO.ONG DOMAIN BUNDLE INTENDED TO BETTER SERVE THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM A COMMUNITY EXCLUSIVE TO THOSE WITH PROVEN CREDENTIALS AS AN NGO. "ONG" HAS THE SAME MEANING AS "NGO", BUT IT IS SPECIFICALLY USED IN REGIONS OF THE WORLD THAT SPEAK ROMANCE LANGUAGES (I.E. SPANISH, FRENCH, ITALIAN AND PORTUGUESE). THE OUTREACH EFFORT WAS DESIGNED TO SEEK BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE NGO COMMUNITY WOULD LOOK FOR IN A NEW .NGO\|.ONG DOMAIN BUNDLE AND TO HELP DEVELOP THE ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION FOR BUILDING SUCH A DOMAIN. IN ADDITION, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY EXPLORED THE OPTION TO OFFER MULTIPLE INTERNATIONALIZED DOMAIN NAME (IDN) VERSIONS OF .ORG IN LANGUAGE-SPECIFIC SCRIPTS. SUCH PREPARATORY WORK WAS ESSENTIAL IN ASSESSING THE LEVEL OF INTEREST IN THESE NEW DOMAINS. SUBSEQUENTLY, IN APRIL 2012, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY SUBMITTED SIX NEW TLD APPLICATIONS TO ICANN IN AN EFFORT TO CREATE AND BECOME THE REGISTRY OPERATOR OF .NGO, .ONG, AND FOUR IDNS: TWO CHINESE SCRIPTS, HINDI, AND CYRILLIC. IN NOVEMBER OF 2013, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY ENTERED INTO CONTRACTS WITH ICANN FOR THE FOUR IDN TLDS. THREE OF THOSE TLDS WERE LAUNCHED IN APRIL 2014. THE FOURTH, A CHINESE FOUR-CHARACTER IDN, HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR DELEGATION BY ICANN. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY IS ACTIVELY DEVELOPING A BUSINESS PLAN FOR THIS IDN AND WILL LAUNCH IT AS SOON AS THE PLAN IS FINALIZED. IN ADDITION, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY SIGNED CONTRACTS WITH ICANN FOR .NGO AND .ONG IN 2014 AND WE ANTICIPATE LAUNCH OF THOSE DOMAINS IN MARCH 2015.IN 2012, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY BEGAN RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION INTO THE POTENTIAL FOR CONDUCTING REGISTRAR FUNCTIONS THROUGH AN AFFILIATE SO AS TO DISTRIBUTE DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATIONS WITH A FOCUS ON THE GRASSROOTS NGO COMMUNITY OF THE GLOBAL SOUTH. THIS RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION WAS DESIGNED IN PART TO DETERMINE IF DISTRIBUTION THROUGH AN AFFILIATE WOULD BETTER SERVE OUR COMMUNITY AT REASONABLE COSTS WITH EXEMPLARY SERVICE.IN 2014, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE INTERNET SOCIETY'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED CREATING THE AFOREMENTIONED NOT-FOR-PROFIT AFFILIATE FOR DISTRIBUTION OF DOMAIN NAMES AND RELATED SERVICES WITH A FOCUS ON UNDERSERVED AREAS IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY HAS COMPLETED THE PROCESS TO CREATE THE AFFILIATE (ENSET) WHICH WILL COMMENCE OPERATIONS IN APRIL 2015.ENSET IS A NOT FOR PROFIT CORPORATION WHOSE SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER IS THE PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY. ENSET HAS BEEN INCORPORATED AS A NOT FOR PROFIT CORPORATION, INTENDED TO OPERATE AS A 501(C)(4). ITS OPERATIONS ARE OVERSEEN BY AN INDEPENDENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.ADDITIONALLY, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY HAS ESTABLISHED A RESOURCE CENTER ON ITS VARIOUS WEBSITES AND LAUNCHED TARGETED EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGNS TO MAKE AVAILABLE DOCUMENTS AND APPLICATIONS SUCH AS MARKETING TOOLS, WHITE PAPERS AND FAQ'S ON INTERNET TOPICS SUCH AS SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKING AND INTERNATIONALIZED DOMAIN NAMES (IDN'S). SPECIFIC TO THE .NGO.ONG BUNDLE, IN MARCH 2015, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY WILL LAUNCH "ONGOOD". ONGOOD IS AN ONLINE PLATFORM OFFERING A SET OF SOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT .NGO AND .ONG REGISTRANTS, THEIR ORGANIZATIONS AND POTENTIAL DONORS. ONGOOD BRINGS TOGETHER NGOS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS TO HELP CREATE AWARENESS ABOUT ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR MISSIONS.MEMBERSHIP IS RESTRICTED TO NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE VALIDATED WHEN THEY REGISTER THEIR .NGO AND .ONG DOMAIN NAMES, REASSURING SUPPORTERS AND DONORS THAT THEY ARE GENUINE NGOS, BEYOND VALIDATION, .NGO.ONG REGISTRANTS ARE AUTOMATICALLY ENTERED INTO THE ONGOOD ONLINE DIRECTORY, WHICH INCLUDES A CUSTOMIZABLE ONLINE PROFILE FOR EACH REGISTRANT'S ORGANIZATION.IN ADDITION, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY, SINCE ITS FOUNDING, HAS BEEN AN ACTIVE SUPPORTER OF THE NON-COMMERCIAL USERS CONSTITUENCY (NCUC) WITHIN ICANN. THE NCUC REPRESENTS THE VIEWS OF NON-COMMERCIAL, NGO AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY 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 COUNCILS, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND REGISTRARS. WORKING WITH ICANN, THE INTERNET SOCIETY (ISOC), TECHNICAL ENGINEERS AND VARIOUS INTERNET LEADERS AROUND THE WORLD, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY INITIATES, SUPPORTS AND FUNDS INTERNET ENHANCEMENTS THAT MEET THE NEEDS AND GOALS OF .ORG CUSTOMERS. .ORG IS USED BY ORGANIZATIONS, COMPANIES, CLUBS AND INDIVIDUALS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR CORE AUDIENCES ABOUT SHARED INTERESTS, PASSION OR CAUSES.
