As the organization responsible for overseeing Internet domains prepares to expand the number of top-level domains available, Al Gore is advocating for a special domain to promote environmental awareness.The group announced Thursday at ICANN's Mexico City meeting that it has entered into an "integrated partnership" with Gore and his philanthropic organization, the Alliance for Climate Protection.
"We 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," Gore said, according to a Dot Eco release. "This is a truly exciting opportunity for the environmental movement and for the Internet as a whole."
One word: WHY?!?
How is savetheworld.org any less "exciting" than savetheworld.eco would be?
Will Dot Eco LLC offer carbon offset credits for each .eco domain registered? :)
It's truly exciting for ICANN as they rake in the money on all these useless extensions.
You'd think that Mr. Gore, the "creator" of the Internet, would understand how more extensions aren't needed. Then again, he's the one with the millions of dollars.
