Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d)  On October 29, 2007, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of NeuStar, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Paul Lacouture to the Board as a Class II director. Mr. Lacouture will serve on the Board’s Audit Committee. The Company issued a press release announcing Mr. Lacouture’s appointment on November 2, 2007. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

          There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Lacouture and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director, nor are there any transactions between the Company and Mr. Lacouture that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

          As a non-management director, Mr. Lacouture will receive annual retainers under the Company’s outside director compensation policy, a summary of which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under cover of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2007. In addition, the Board has approved for Mr. Lacouture a restricted stock unit grant equal to $113,836 divided by the closing price of NeuStar Class A Common Stock on the date of grant, which will occur on November 5, 2007. Consistent with the grants made to existing directors on August 1, 2007, Mr. Lacouture’s restricted stock units will fully vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Upon vesting, the restricted stock units will be automatically deferred into deferred stock units, which will be delivered to Mr. Lacouture in shares of Class A Common Stock six months following his termination of Board service. Mr. Lacouture’s grant will be made pursuant to the Form of Directors’ Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, which sets forth the terms and conditions of restricted stock units granted to directors under the NeuStar, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. A copy of the Form of Directors’ Restricted Stock Unit Agreement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under cover of a Current Report on Form 8-K on April 14, 2006.

          Finally, in connection with his appointment as a director, Mr. Lacouture will enter into the Company’s Form of Indemnification Agreement, which has been entered into by each of the Company’s other directors. A copy of the Form of Indemnification Agreement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under cover of Amendment No. 5 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 on June 10, 2005. The Form of Indemnification Agreement generally requires the Company to indemnify directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.
