[Chapter-delegates] Call for Candidates for the Board of Directors of the Public Interest Registry

[Sabrina Wilmot]

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet Society is now accepting nominations for the Board of Directors
of the Public Interest Registry (PIR). In 2013 there is a maximum of four
openings on the PIR Board of Directors. Two positions are for a 3 year term
that begins in midyear 2013 and expires in midyear 2016, and two positions
are for a 2 year term that begins in midyear 2013 and expires in midyear
2015. PIR's business is to manage an international registry of .org domain
names, and is currently in the process of preparing to manage an additional
registry of .NGO and .ONG domain names, solely intended for NGOs around the
world, as well as four additional IDNs for .org. 

The Public Interest Registry, founded by the Internet Society in 2002,
empowers the global noncommercial community to use the Internet more
effectively and, concurrently, takes a leadership position among Internet
stakeholders on policy and related issues. The .ORG domain is the Internet's
third largest "generic" or non-country specific top-level domain with more
than 10 million domain names registered worldwide.
