AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF ITS CHARITABLE MISSION, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY (OR "PIR") MAINTAINS AND OPERATES THE .ORG TOP-LEVEL DOMAIN REGISTRY IN A FASHION THAT IS DESIGNED TO SET THE QUALITY, EFFICIENCY AND PRIVACY STANDARDS FOR THE INTERNET DOMAIN INDUSTRY. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY WORKS TO CREATE, DEVELOP, MODERNIZE AND KEEP CURRENT ETHICAL, PRACTICAL AND TECHNICAL POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND PROTOCOLS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN ITS OPERATIONAL MODEL FRESH, RELEVANT AND APPROPRIATE AS AN EXAMPLE FOR THE INTERNET INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE. MANAGING AND OPERATING THE .ORG REGISTRY CONSISTENT WITH AND SUPPORTIVE OF PIR'S AND ISOC'S RESPECTIVE MISSIONS AND IN STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE RULES AND REGULATIONS DEVELOPED BY INTERNET CORPORATION FOR ASSIGNED NAMES AND NUMBERS ("ICANN") ALSO REQUIRES ACTIVELY COLLABORATING WITH THE WORLDWIDE NON-COMMERCIAL/NON-PROFIT ORIENTED COMMUNITY TO CONSIDER, REFINE AND RESOLVE CRITICAL AND IMPORTANT ISSUES RELATED TO INTERNET POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY MAINTAINS AN ADVISORY COUNCIL COMPRISED OF KNOWLEDGEABLE INDUSTRY EXPERTS AND LEADERS FROM GLOBAL NONPROFIT AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ARENAS TO HELP PIR SUPPORT ITS COMMUNITY. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY RELIES ON THE INSIGHT AND KNOWLEDGE OBTAINED FROM THE MEMBERS OF ITS ADVISORY COUNCIL AND A CONSTANT STREAM OF INFORMATION SOLICITED AND RECEIVED FROM REGISTRARS, AS WELL AS FROM THE MEMBERS OF ITS OWN DIVERSE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE INTERESTS OF THE WORLDWIDE MISSION-BASED INTERNET COMMUNITY.PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY ALSO INDEPENDENTLY CONDUCTS EDUCATION AND OUTREACH (E&O) IN THE GLOBAL NONPROFIT AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION (NGO) SPACE. TRADITIONALLY THESE EFFORTS HAVE HAD TWO PURPOSES: FIRST, TO SUPPORT AND ASSIST ISOC ACHIEVE ITS IMPORTANT AND CHARITABLE MISSION; AND SECOND, TO SHARE ITS EXPERTISE AS AN EXEMPLARY DOMAIN NAME REGISTRY AS WELL AS PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT SHARE THEIR EXPERTISE BY CONDUCTING CONFERENCES AND REGIONAL GATHERINGS FOCUSED ON IMPROVING USE OF THE INTERNET, ESPECIALLY BY MISSION-BASED USERS AROUND THE WORLD. IN 2019 PIR BEGAN REFRAMING ITS E&O EFFORTS IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS MISSION STATEMENT, I.E. TO SERVE AS "[A]N EXEMPLARY DOMAIN NAME REGISTRY AND INDUSTRY THOUGHT LEADER PROVIDING A TRUSTED DIGITAL IDENTITY AND HELPING EDUCATE THOSE WHO DEDICATE THEMSELVES TO IMPROVING OUR WORLD." WHILE SUPPORTING THE INTERNET SOCIETY REMAINS A CORE PIR MISSION AND ACTIVITY, KEY NEW HIRES AND A MORE ROBUST BUDGET ALLOWED PIR IN 2019 TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF ITS E&O ACTIVITIES. FOR EXAMPLE, IN 2019 PIR SERVED AS AN EXEMPLARY REGISTRY FOR THE DOMAIN NAME INDUSTRY BY SPEARHEADING THE "FRAMEWORK TO ADDRESS ABUSE" THAT INFORMS DOMAIN NAME REGISTRIES HOW BEST TO ADDRESS ABUSE OF THE DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM (DNS) AND EGREGIOUS FORMS OF ABUSE SUCH AS CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE MATERIALS. PIR ALSO CONTINUED IN 2019 ITS LEADERSHIP IN THE INDUSTRY'S CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE MATERIAL (CSAM) REFERRAL DISCUSSION GROUP, A COLLABORATIVE GROUP OF REGISTRIES, REGISTRARS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CHILD SAFETY WATCHDOG GROUPS TO BETTER DEVELOP PRACTICES TO FIGHT CSAM ONLINE. ALSO IN 2019, PIR HOSTED THE INAUGURAL .ORG COMMUNITY FORUM, WHERE EXPERTS SHARED THEIR KNOWLEDGE WITH NONPROFITS AND NGOS REGARDING EFFECTIVE INTERNET PRACTICES TO FURTHER THEIR ORGANIZATIONS' MISSIONS. ON OCTOBER 10, 2019, PIR LAUNCHED THE INAUGURAL .ORG IMPACT AWARDS. THIS FIRST ANNUAL PROGRAM CELEBRATED .ORG DOMAIN NAME USERS OF ALL KINDS AND CAUSES FOR THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION, MARKETING AND OUTREACH, AND MISSION ACHIEVEMENT.IN APRIL 2014 PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY LAUNCHED AND IN 2019 CONTINUED TO MAKE AVAILABLE THREE LANGUAGE-SPECIFIC IDN TLDS: ONE EACH IN CHINESE, HINDI AND CYRILLIC SCRIPTS, WITH A GOAL TO MINIMIZE DIFFERENCES IN LANGUAGE AS A BARRIER TO USING THE INTERNET ACROSS LANGUAGE-DIVERSE COMMUNITIES OF USERS. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY ALSO MAINTAINS AN ACTIVE LEADERSHIP ROLE IN INITIATING, DEVELOPING, FUNDING AND SPONSORING PRACTICAL AND TECHNICAL INTERNET ENHANCEMENTS AND INNOVATIONS, MOST PARTICULARLY THOSE THAT BENEFIT NON-COMMERCIAL/NON-PROFIT USERS WITH A FOCUS ON EXPANDING AND IMPROVING AVAILABILITY TO AND USE BY GRASSROOTS NON-GOVERNMENTAL, NON-COMMERCIAL AND NON-PROFIT USERS WHO RESIDE OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES. TO THIS END, IN 2019 PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY WORKED TO ENHANCE AND EXPAND ITS REGISTRY OPERATIONS TO INCLUDE .NGO AND .ONG (A COUNTERPART WITH SIMILAR MEANING FOR USE IN REGIONS THAT SPEAK SPANISH, FRENCH, ITALIAN, PORTUGUESE AND OTHER ROMANCE LANGUAGES). IN EACH OF THESE REGARDS, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY ENGAGED IN A CONTINUING AND EXTENSIVE DIALOGUE WITH APPROPRIATE MEMBERS OF THE GLOBAL NON-COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY TO BETTER MEASURE AND UNDERSTAND BOTH THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY'S INTEREST IN AND SUPPORT FOR UNIQUE .NGO AND .ONG DOMAINS AND/OR FOR MULTIPLE INTERNATIONALIZED DOMAIN NAME (IDN) VERSIONS OF .ORG IN LANGUAGE-SPECIFIC SCRIPTS. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY'S DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SUCH INNOVATIONS IMPORTANTLY SERVE THE INTERESTS OF THE BROADER NON-COMMERCIAL INTERNET COMMUNITY. PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY CONTINUES TO ANALYZE AND DETERMINE THE MOST SUITABLE MODEL AND ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION FOR MAINTAINING SUCH PLATFORMS.IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE LAUNCH OF .NGO AND .ONG TLD BUNDLE AND IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS SIGNIFICANT EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY DESIGNED AND DEVELOPED AN ONLINE PLATFORM TOOL, APPROPRIATELY NAMED "ONGOOD", TO PROVIDE A USER FRIENDLY SET OF SOLUTIONS TO EDUCATE AND SUPPORT THE SENIOR LEADERS, EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS AND OTHER SUPPORTERS OF AND POTENTIAL DONORS TO .NGO AND .ONG REGISTRANTS. LAUNCHED IN 2015, ONGOOD CONTINUED IN 2019 TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE CLOSER RELATIONSHIPS, COOPERATION AND BETTER UNDERSTANDING AMONG AND BETWEEN A WIDE VARIETY OF CONSTITUENCIES IN THE GLOBAL NGO COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING RELIABLY ACCURATE DATA AND OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT VARIOUS MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS METHODS, POLICIES, PROCEDURES, PROTOCOLS AND TOOLS TO ADDRESS AND RESOLVE COMMON CONCERNS AND ISSUES. WITH THE LAUNCH IN 2019 OF ITS QUALITY PERFORMANCE INDEX (QPI) INITIATIVE FOCUSED PROGRAM, PIR SHOWCASED ITS INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP BY FOCUSING ON MAINTAINING THE QUALITY OF THE .ORG DOMAIN NAME SPACE. QPI WAS CREATED TO ACCURATELY MEASURE THE QUALITY OF INDIVIDUAL REGISTRAR .ORG NAMESPACES, TO DETER DOMAIN NAME ABUSE AND ENCOURAGE QUALITY DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATIONS. THE SCORE CALCULATED FROM THE QPI ALGORITHM CAN BE USED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES, INCLUDING DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR A VARIETY OF PIR CHANNEL AND MARKETING PROGRAMS. PIR HAS PRESENTED QPI TO OTHER DOMAIN NAME REGISTRIES AND REGISTRARS TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO CREATE AND ROLL OUT SIMILAR PROGRAMS. THE QPI PROGRAM RECEIVED AND CONTINUES TO RECEIVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, REGISTRARS, THE ICANN COMMUNITY AND THE LARGER DOMAIN NAME ECO-SYSTEM. DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019, ISOC ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT TO TRANSFER ITS INTEREST IN PIR. ON MAY 11, 2020, THE AGREEMENT WAS TERMINATED AND THAT SALE WILL NOT TAKE PLACE. 99600499 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 36 0 1 43 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 PA X X JONATHON NEVETT 7038895778 1775 WIEHLE AVENUE STE 100 RESTON VA 20190 X LISE FUHR CHAIRMAN 12.00 X X 19000 0 0 JEFF BEDSER VICE CHAIRMAN (TREAS.

PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY HAS ESTABLISHED A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF VARIOUS MEMBERS OF ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS. EVERY OTHER YEAR, PUBLIC INTEREST REGISTRY ENGAGES AN OUTSIDE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO ANALYZE COMPARABLE DATA RELATING TO THE COMPENSATION OF ITS CEO AND OTHER DISQUALIFIED PERSONS PERFORMING WORK OR SERVICES FOR THE COMPANY. REGARDING THE CEO, THE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT USES A COMPARATIVE SURVEY IN THE WASHINGTON, DC 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 REVIEWS AND ANALYZES THE CONSULTANT'S REPORT AND OTHER INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND MAKES ITS RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BASED ON THOSE FINDINGS. AFTER DETAILED DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION AMONG BOARD MEMBERS, THE RECOMMENDATION IS VOTED UPON, ACCEPTED BY THE FULL BOARD AND CONTEMPORANEOUSLY DOCUMENTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD MEETING. DURING 2019, COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO WAS BASED ON THE 2017 COMPENSATION STUDY WHILE ALSO TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE IMPACT OF INFLATION AND COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENTS FOR 2018 AND 2019 BASED UPON FORMAL DATA SOURCES AVAILABLE FOR LIKE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WASHINGTON, DC METRO AREA.
