.ECO, a new top-level domain initiative for people who care about the
environment, has selected Minds + Machines as their domain name
registry operator. Minds + Machines will help .ECO with the ICANN
application process, and handle .ECO’s domain registry services after
ICANN approval.
“After comparing all the registry platforms, our choice was easy,” said
Fred Krueger, CEO of .ECO. “Minds + Machines impressed us with their
technology and their knowledge of the industry, as well as their
commitment to sustainable development. They have a vision that goes
beyond the technical aspects, and matches our vision of what the
Internet can do for the environment and for world.”
.ECO will be established for individuals to express their support for
environmental causes, for companies to promote their environmental
initiatives, and for environmental organizations to maintain their
websites in a namespace that is more relevant to their core missions.
Dot Eco recently announced an integrated partnership with former Vice
President Al Gore and the Alliance for Climate Protection.
“.ECO is an important next step for the Internet,” said Antony Van
Couvering, CEO of Minds + Machines. “By claiming this important
Internet identity, and backing it up with a real plan for action, .ECO
is fulfilling the promise of the Internet to make a real difference for
the planet. We could not be more pleased that they selected Minds +
Machines.”
Minds + Machines has its roots in CoCCA Tools, the open-source shared
registry platform for over twenty-five country-code top-level domains.
By supporting CoCCA with funding and development, Minds + Machines is
helping bring the Internet and an important Internet identity to many
smaller countries in the world.
Minds + Machines, based in Los Angeles and New York, provides
consulting and technology to corporate, community, and entrepreneurial
new top-level domains.
