RESTON, Va., — Public Interest Registry is pleased to announce the selected members of the Public Interest Registry Advisory Council, a newly formed group that now combines the membership and duties of the formerly separate .ORG and .NGO Advisory Councils.
The Advisory Council is composed of industry leaders from a broad spectrum of organizations and countries and will work to advise Public Interest Registry on issues ranging from public policy to the introduction of new services. Most importantly, Advisory Council members serve as an intermediary between end users and Public Interest Registry, ensuring that the needs and concerns of registrants are known and addressed.
“We are thrilled by the global interest to join the Public Interest Registry Advisory Council and know the diversity of selected individuals make the new group well equipped to complement our business efforts on behalf of the .ORG, .NGO and .ONG domain communities,” said Jon Nevett, president and CEO of Public Interest Registry. “While registrants of each domain are unique, all who rely on the Internet to help bolster a social good mission share similar values and challenges. As the steward of the .ORG, .NGO and .ONG domains, we look forward to tapping collaborative perspectives of the now unified Advisory Council to support and strengthen all our registrants.”
