Capital Commitment
The successful transition and ongoing operation of the .org registry cannot be accomplished without a well-capitalized entity. An entity that is able to attract and retain the best staff, technologically transition the .org registry, invest in growing the .org customer base and fund the charitable community fund. RegisterOrg is fully committed to meeting any and all funding requirements as necessary to operate the .org registry.

The Registry has been initially capitalized by its parent company, Register.com, in the amount of $10 million ($10,000,000.00). This commitment is evidenced by the letter dated June 14, 2002 by Salomon Smith Barney (Attachment, Section C50.5, Evidence of Commitment) which details that Register ORGanization, Inc.’s account (#315-59330-17-052) has such funds to be used for the operations of the .org registry.

Based upon publicly available data, the Registry has prepared a detailed financial model which takes into consideration both the expected revenue and cost of operating the .org registry. Based upon this financial model, including the profit and loss statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flows, we believe that any new registry will need to be well capitalized in order for it to sustain the stability of the registry. The funding will need to provide for unforeseen events, economic weakness and other cost overruns while ensuring that the business has enough cash flow to sustain the highest levels of stability and customer service. We believe that $10 million will meet the needs of the business. However, should such an amount not be ample, Register.com, Register.org’s parent company, has cash and marketable securities in excess of $200 million and is in a strong financial position to fund the Registry further.
