Top Level Domain .ORG has been upgraded to support the new EPP protocol standard.

The Public Interest Registry (PIR), operator of the .ORG genTLD, announced that it has upgraded its system to protocol EPP 1.0 for exclusive use in support of RFCs 3730, 3731, 3732, 3733, 3734 and 3735, which outline the approved standard version of the VeriSign’s Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP). Earlier versions of EPP have been used by many of the world’s most advanced registries to transact with registrars, the commercial retailers of domain names.

Today’s announcement follows a history of improvements that PIR has brought to .ORG since taking over its stewardship. These include:

• transitioning over 130 registrars from the legacy protocol onto the newest technology available;
  
• improving security of domain ownership through centralizing and password-protecting contact information with the registry;
  
• accelerating DNS service resulting in faster name resolution and DNS update time (from 12 hours to less than 5 minutes);
  
• protecting registrants by launching the Redemption Grace Period (RGP) service to provide registrants an additional 30 days to reclaim their domain if it is incorrectly deleted;
  
• launching .ORG’s first global advisory committee;
  
• introducing .ORG German Language Internationalized Domain Names.
