PIR Overview
The Public Interest Registry (PIR), a not-for-profit organization with world
headquarters in Reston, Virginia, was created by the Internet Society (ISOC)
in
2002 to manage the .ORG top-level domain (TLD). Today, there are over 5.5
million .ORG domain names, representing noncommercial organizations across a
wide spectrum, and ranking as the third largest (non country) TLD in the
world. PIR delivers its services as a domain name registry through its
partnership with Afilias (www.afilias.info), a global leader in advanced
back office domain name registry services. As successful as PIR has been to
date, the organization has the potential to play an even more significant
role in the namespace and Internet communities.

The CEO Position
The President and CEO of PIR needs to demonstrate exemplary leadership on
the business side, in the namespace policy leadership space, and in finding
ways that non-commercial organizations can be more effective and efficient
through using the Internet. PIR's plans for the future are focused in
several different areas, including increased public policy advocacy related
to personal privacy and the internationalization of domain names, while
constantly improving best practices related to registry operations. The
President and CEO will need to be a passionate leader within the internet
industry and will work diligently to articulate PIR's mission around the
world. He/she will be an articulate and accomplished speaker, with
collaborative leadership skills and adeptness at managing key relationships
with all constituents, including ISOC, ICANN, and Afilias.

The President and CEO will manage a team of six highly talented staff
members, and will be based at PIR's global headquarters in Reston, Virginia.
The role of CEO of PIR is a highly unusual position. Even as a
not-for-profit organization, PIR has a successful business operation, while
also serving to advocate for appropriate Internet and namespace policies.
PIR has a small team but a sizable platform from which to support its
constituencies and advocate for the public interest. Strong relationship
skills and a thoughtful style of communication will be key ingredients for
success in this role. The necessary combination of business acumen and
policy/diplomatic savvy in a highly visible space makes this position
unique. The new CEO of PIR will have the unusual opportunity to play a
significant role running a substantial business while also serving the
greater good of the Internet community.
