DotGreen Community, Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of the .green Top Level Domain, starting with a Sunrise Period open now through February 6th, 2015.

Sunrise is the priority registration period for Trademark holders, who have validated TM’s through the ICANN Trademark ClearingHouse (TMCH). Trademark holders planning to showcase their 2015 green initiatives can register now with any participating .green registrar in time for Earth Day, April 22, 2015. Registrars are listed here at www.nic.green. 

“The .green Internet address is a natural extension for the green economy and for everyone to identify shared and aligned values people want to support,” said DotGreen Community, Inc., CEO Annalisa Roger. “What has been missing, prior to the launch of .green, has been an easy way for businesses, products, services and customers to immediately identify each other.

.green domain names go for sale to the worldwide public through Landrush, which will follow Sunrise and begin on February 12th - March 14th, 2015, and culminating with General Availability which will begin March 24th, 2015.

DotGreen Community, Inc. is partnered with Afilias, who provides secure and reliable services behind all .green domain names. This release will finally give businesses the ability to easily showcase their “green” initiatives in a very clear way to a rapidly growing market of global citizens looking for ways to make a difference in both business and lifestyle.

DotGreen Community, Inc. commits a percentage of revenue from the sales of .green domain names to fund programs and projects aimed at sustainability in regions around the world through a unique partnership with www.dotgreenfoundation.org a 501(c)3 organization and a federation of some of the world’s leading environmental organizations known as www.EarthShare.org.

“Registering a .green name and visiting these new .green websites will be an action that businesses and the public can take on behalf of our planet. The fact that a portion of the registration revenue will be committed to supporting a healthy environment makes this TLD launch very special,” said Kal Stein, the Chief Executive Officer of EarthShare. 

The new .green Internet website addresses are rapidly being adopted by green businesses. For additional information and for registrars selling the new .green domain names, visit www.nic.green or contact info@dotgreen.org today.
