Registry for .org Domain Names Successfully Transferred

Just weeks after taking control of the .org TLD registry from VeriSign, the non-profit Public Interest Registry (PIR) announced the successful transition of the registry's technical systems. The Reston, Va.-based PIR said the transition, which took place over the weekend, was unaffected by the Slammer worm attack and by Monday morning, more than 1,800 domain names had already been registered under the new technical system, which is being handled by Afilias.
