Gore And Friends Make Their Case For Dot Eco Domain

Hank Green over at EcoGeek recently examined the .eco domain and how one group, called Big Room, might regulate who can claim one. “They would control who could and could not get a .eco domain, much like the .edu domain only allows accredited educational institutions,” he writes. “Of course, this also means that they would have to come up with some kind of accreditation program…and that sounds pretty expensive to me. More likely, they would have each buyer pay for the accreditation, and that would not be cheap. So, in effect, you just create a bunch of really expensive domain names.” [Via Climate Depot]
