Green means go! DotGreen talks community


Switzer: Feeling positive

The DotGreen Registry has confirmed it has registered with ICANN and is in the process of making a community application for dot-green. Tim Switzer, COO/CFO of the California-based group, says he's unaware of any competing bids and would be surprised if other groups were applying for the same gTLD.

"Our CEO Annalisa Roger has been very open about the application as far back as the ICANN Paris meeting in 2008," he says. "She has been involved in both the ICANN and the green community and we've all invested a huge amount of time, energy and passion into the application."

For this reason Switzer says he would be surprised to see any competing applications, particularly since he hasn't heard about any other interested parties in his discussions with the green community.
