Promoting The Green Movement
The DotGreen Registry Corporation and its .green
gTLD will provide an unprecedented branding opportunity worldwide: the potential to purchase a .green domain name. It's the opportunity for universal awareness, online support to the green movement and placement in the growing market of DotGreen.
It is also an income stream for green. The DotGreen Registry will boost the green economy online. Profits from domain name sales will be Distributed On Target (DOT) through Earth Share
and The DotGreen Foundation to organizations and projects of sustainability around the world. |
You will notice a new, bright green tab at the top of our landing page, making our online presence more interactive. DotGreen team members Jennifer Bullock of Jennifer Bullock Productions and USC student volunteer David Hodge added the new features. There are links to additional pages, information about DotGreen and a rapidly growing list of DotGreen friends and supporters. Make the website a favorite on your browser and visit often. New information will be posted regularly, so hit refresh often and tell your friends. |
DotGreen in Paris
It was the first outreach for DotGreen among the European community. The CEO of MailClub, Monsieur Charles Tine, invited DotGreen to present the new .green gTLD initiative and project.
DotGreen presented to the domain name industry and intellectual property (IP) attorneys at the Rencontres Internationales des Noms de Domaine hosted by MailClub Domain Name Services and .sedo.

DotGreen representatives Annalisa
Roger and Sebastien Bachollet received positive feedback for DotGreen and an applause from the audience of 150 domain name industry leaders and IP attorneys. Many attendees had expressed their concerns about some issues of ICANN's new TLD roll out, scheduled for later this year; however, the DotGreen initiative and project were received positively.
The event was held January 26 and 27, 2009 at the Forum de Grenelle in Paris, France. It was sponsored by AFNIC; the registry of .fr, the country code Top Level Domain for France; EURID, the registry of .eu, the gTLD of Europe and .bzh of Brittany, France.

Doug Engelbart
DotGreen spent a morning with technology titan Doug Engelbart, a pioneer of the digital age. Among many achievements, he invented the computer mouse, and led interactive computing and hypermedia decades before most had computers in their homes.
On February 10th, in his office at SRI International in Menlo Park, California, he told us he wants humanity to use technology to move us faster towards our urgent goals. He feels strongly that we need to network, collaborate and harness our collective I.Q.
We discussed his ideas, some of his inventions, the Internet, DotGreen and the future. Over lunch, we shared our personal stories. Engelbart is warm, genuine and fun. The world has benefitted tremendously from his many contributions.
With John Deneen, Jennifer Knoll and Engelbart's assistant Mary Coppernoll looking on, he gave DotGreen Founder Annalisa Roger a personal tutorial on one of his many inventions: the five key chord. This innovative technique allows a person to type with different strokes of the left hand while using a mouse in the right hand.
According to his website, "The Doug Engelbart Institute was conceived by Doug
Engelbart to further
his lifelong career goal of boosting our ability
to better address complex, urgent problems. As
he sees it, both the rate and the scale
of change are increasing very rapidly worldwide,
and we as a people must get that much faster and
smarter at anticipating, assessing, and responding
to important challenges collectively
if we are to stay ahead of the curve, and thrive
as a planet. In other words, we must get faster
and smarter at boosting our Collective IQ." Read more by visiting:
