PIR’s business is to manage the international registry of .org, .ngo, .ong, .charity, .foundation, .gives, and .giving domain names, as well as three .org associated Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). In 2024 there are two positions opening on the PIR Board. The appointed directors will serve three-year terms, beginning mid-year in 2024.
Prior board or senior executive experience is preferred. All directors must have an appreciation for PIR’s mission and the potential impact of PIR decisions on the customers of PIR and the global community served by .ORG and the other TLDs PIR operates. Directors must be able to read and understand a balance sheet, as well as read and communicate effectively in the English language.
