Dot ORG registry donates $100,000 to Katrina Relief
Public Internet Registry (PIR), manager of the Dot ORG domain, will contribute to the Katrina relief effort until the end of the month.
PIR is partnering with its founding organization, the Internet Society, and its technology services provider, Afilias Limited, to donate $1 USD for every new .ORG domain name registered between 8 September and 30 September 2005 to aid relief efforts for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. To provide immediate help, PIR and Afilias already have donated $100,000 to the American Red Cross as an advance payment on the final contribution. The total amount of the donation is expected to increase based on the number of .ORG registrations that occur between 8 September and 30 September 2005.
"The devastation caused by this disaster continues to unfold. It is imperative that we all support the efforts of those members within the nonprofit .ORG community and others who are working tirelessly to provide Hurricane Katrina victims much needed assistance," said Edward Viltz, president and CEO of PIR. "We trust our donation to the Red Cross disaster relief fund encourages additional contributions and aids in the efforts currently under way."
PIR also is working with .ORG registrars to set up links to the Red Cross on their Web sites and to encourage them to make their own contributions.
