The ISOC has provided an institutional home for the IETF, but they have become increasingly independent and a clearer distribution of roles. While the IETF's remit has remained narrow, the Internet Society has greatly expanded its scope. This expansion is partially due to the creation of [[.org]]. When it was established, [[PIR]] became a subsidiary of the Internet Society, and now most of their revenue comes from .org sales.
