November 26, 2002

Mr. M. Stuart Lynn
President and CEO

4676 Admiralty Way
Suite 300
Marina del Rey, CA 90292-6601

Dear Mr. Lynn:

On behalf of the Department of Commerce, I hereby approve the Public Interest Registry (PIR) as the successor for the .org registry. After an examination of the technical expertise and financial stability of PIR and its project partner Afilias, Ltd., the Department has concluded that PIR is qualified to operate the .org registry.

Consistent with the Department's overarching goal of maintaining the security and stability of the Internet domain name system, it is important that you take all steps necessary to ensure a smooth and stable transition from the current operator of the domain to the successor registry. The Department will cooperate fully in this effort.

Sincerely,

Nancy J. Victory
