[APAC-Discuss] PIR Quality Performance Index

[Nadira Alaraj]

The Public Internet Registry (PIR) announced an expansion of its Quality
Performance Index <http://www.qpi.org/> (QPI) to make it freely available
to other registries seeking to improve and grow the quality of their domain
name spaces.

This expansion of QPI will enable other registries to adapt the QPI roadmap
and toolkits so they can identify best practices and incentivize registrars
to reduce abuse rates and increase renewals.

The PIR made the decision to make it freely available after observing its
impact on the .ORG domain space: .ORG remains the least abused of all large
generic top-level domains (gTLDs); participating registrars saw a marked
improvement (4 percent) in renewal rates; and approximately 50 percent of
all new .ORGs were registered through the QPI program.
