new TLD .eco chooses Afilias as its registry services provider partner
.eco will be a new Top Level Domain just like .com, .mobi or .info and the question for us has always been how do we make sure that .eco is a useful addition to the Internet.
That is why we have really focused on finding ways to make .eco a useful tool and platform for Internet users to find out information about sustainability on products, companies and individuals.
With the introduction of new Top Level Domains (new TLD's) we see a huge opportunity for innovation and Big Room's vision for .eco is to create an open global platform for people to share their information on sustainability.
We will do this by collecting information from people when they register .eco domain names for their companies, for their organizations, for their products, even for themselves and then make all that information freely available.
So really developing a useful tool.
The other side of what we will do with .eco is to share a significant portion of the revenues back with the global sustainability community.
So really create some powerful tools for sustainability with .eco.
There were really two reasons why we went to Afilias with this idea.
One was their phenomenal reputation. They have experience in delivering new TLD's successfully. They are stable and they have the technical competence to do it.
The other was an excellent fit. They understood what we were trying to achieve with .eco and they have been very engaged in helping us develop the model and ensure that .eco is successful.
