[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Call for Candidates for the 2014 PIR Board of Directors

[Elizabeth Oluoch]

Dear Chapter Delegates,

The Internet Society is now accepting nominations for the Board of Directors of the Public Interest Registry (PIR). In 2014 there are two positions opening on the PIR Board. The Director positions are a 3-year term that begins midyear 2014 and expires midyear 2017. 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.

Additional details, including the nomination form, are available at:
