Public Interest Registry

The Public Interest Registry is a Reston, Virginia-based not-for-profit created by the Internet Society (ISOC) in 2002 to manage the .ORG top-level domain. It took over operation of .ORG in January 2003 and launched the .NGO and .ONG domain names in March 2015. The organization is involved in internet policy, education and security issues, like the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) protocol, domain tasting, DNS filtering and internet adoption in third world countries.

History

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) circulated a request for proposals in May 2002 for a new organization to manage the .ORG domain. The Internet Society (ISOC) put forth one of eleven proposals ICANN received. ISOC won an endorsement within ICANN and was recommended to the selection committee in a preliminary report. At a public ICANN meeting in Bucharest in 2002, ISOC CEO Lynn St. Amour and Afilias CTO Ram Mohan presented ISOC's proposal to manage the .ORG registry. The proposal included the creation of a separate entity, called the Public Interest Registry, to oversee the .ORG domain. Its board of directors is appointed by ISOC. Afilias was selected as the back-end technical provider for .ORG under contract with the Public Interest Registry. The largest domain transfer in history occurred on January 1, 2003, when ICANN had VeriSign delegate 2.6 million domains to the Public Interest Registry. An Internet Society Vice President, David Maher, became the chairman. The following month, Ed Viltz became the organization’s first CEO.

Non-governmental organization

A non-governmental organization (NGO) is an organization that is neither a part of a government nor a conventional for-profit business.

Usually set up by ordinary citizens, NGOs may be funded by governments, foundations, businesses, or private persons. Some avoid formal funding altogether and are run primarily by volunteers. NGOs are highly diverse groups of organizations engaged in a wide range of activities, and take different forms in different parts of the world. Some may have charitable status, while others may be registered for tax exemption based on recognition of social purposes. Others may be fronts for political, religious, or other interests.

The number of NGOs in the United States is estimated at 1.5 million.Russia has 277,000 NGOs.India is estimated to have had around 2 million NGOs in 2009, just over one NGO per 600 Indians, and many times the number of primary schools and primary health centres in India.

NGOs are difficult to define, and the term 'NGO' is not always used consistently. In some countries the term NGO is applied to an organization that in another country would be called an NPO (nonprofit organization), and vice-versa. There are many different classifications of NGO in use. The most common focus is on "orientation" and "level of operation". An NGO's orientation refers to the type of activities it takes on. These activities might include human rights, environmental, improving health, or development work. An NGO's level of operation indicates the scale at which an organization works, such as local, regional, national, or international.

    No preguntes por qué

    by: Nek

    Tus ojos dejan ver la verdad
    sé que llueve desde que no está
    sé también que no es fácil estar solo
    hay tanto que olvidar si el amor
    se arrepiente y dice que se va
    sin querer, el corazón
    mira hacia atrás
    y no hay forma de aprender
    a estar vivo y no caer
    tropezar
    y empezar otra vez
    CORO
    No preguntes por qué
    ya no sois los de ayer
    que es un juego sin reglas la pasión
    que te puedo ayudar
    que te ayude a curar
    las heridas que deja el desamor
    si tan solo hay dolor
    ya habrá un tiempo mejor
    De nada sirve ya remover
    las cenizas que dejó el placer
    no vendrá, no repitas más su nombre
    que aunque te engañes el adios
    es calle de una sola dirección
    se marchó
    y hay que dar
    cuerda al corazón
    CORO
    Se que estas tocando fondo
    pero asómate
    la ciudad te está invitando
    vamos muevete
    Que otros labios de mujer
    te darán mañana de beber
    volverás
    a sentir
    otra vez
    CORO
