Public Interest Registry Proudly Introduces Its New Quality Performance Index

By Anand Vora, Vice President of Business Affairs, Public Interest Registry As a nonprofit dedicated to upholding the .ORG domain as a trusted domain space, Public Interest Registry (PIR) takes seriously its responsibility to operate for the good of the public interest. PIR strives to take thoughtful and deliberate actions in our work to create the best impact on the internet and our world. That’s why we are particularly proud of the launch of our most recent initiative, which we are calling the Quality Performance Index or QPI. The QPI was created to accurately measure the quality of individual registrar .ORG namespaces. The score calculated from the developed QPI algorithm can be used for a variety of purposes, including determining eligibility for a variety of PIR channel and marketing programs. It was designed to 1) recognize and reward those registrars who are aligned with and committed to the PIR mission
