The Alliance for Climate Protection to Promote .eco and will Receive Charitable Contributions from the Operation of the TLD
Dot Eco LLC (dotecotld.com), the applicant for the new .eco top level domain, today announced it has entered into an integrated partnership with former Vice President Al Gore and his philanthropy, the Alliance for Climate Protection (climateprotect.org), to secure and promote the .eco top level domain.
.eco will be established for individuals to express their support for environmental causes, for companies to promote their environmental initiatives, and for environmental organizations to maintain their websites in a namespace that is more relevant to their core missions. By charter, a majority of the profits of the .eco initiative will be distributed to support environmental causes.
âWe fully support Dot Eco LLC in its efforts to secure the .eco top level domain through the ICANN application process and look forward to working with Dot Eco LLC to promote .eco. This is a truly exciting opportunity for the environmental movement and for the internet as a whole,â said Al Gore.
Added Cathy Zoi, CEO of the Alliance for Climate Protection: âThe .eco initiative, as proposed by Dot Eco LLC, is a unique approach for fundraising for nonprofit environmental organizations such as ours. We are thrilled to be working with Dot Eco LLC to generate funds for our organization and to promote awareness of climate change.â
âIt is an honor and a privilege to be working with Al Gore and Cathy Zoi on the .eco initiative,â said Fred Krueger, CEO of Dot Eco LLC. âWe are confident that we will generate substantial funds for the Alliance for Climate Protection to promote their efforts to increase awareness of climate change.â
âWe believe that this initiative represents an example of the type of compelling top level domains made possible by ICANNâs new gTLD application process,â added Krueger.
