About .org
.org is operated by Public Interest Registry (PIR). It is popular with associations, foundations, open source projects and communities, but you do not have to be an organization to register one.
Registration data is read from PIR's RDAP service. After expiry, the same ICANN schedule as .com applies: a grace period, a 30-day redemption period and a 5-day pending delete.
