.Green and .Wedding row sets staid in multi-million dollar auctions - Two three-applicant contention sets are resolved.

.Green gets corner on .eco in new TLD priority draw - .Green draws are better overall, but that doesn’t mean it will come to market first. When ICANN planned “digital archery” to determine the order in which it would review top level domain applications, there was a benefit to applying for a domain other people were applying for: all applications would be moved up in the queue to the top spot in the contention set. You could say the opposite for the prioritization draw that happened yesterday. Basically a draw ... read more ...

New TLD Battle: .Eco vs. .Green - TLDH hedges its bets with .green bid. On May 7 I tweeted: The answer is “yes”. Top Level Domain Holdings, one of the companies embroiled in a battle over .eco, has applied for .green. It could merely be a calculated bet by TLDH given the potential for a hold up on .eco. .Eco has long been contested, has a trademark fight, and is now in court. I don’t know with certainty that this is an attempt to “hold off” the most visible .green applicant, DotGreen ... read more ...

DotGreen to Battle DotEco - DotGreen to take on DotEco. When I wrote my tongue-in-cheek guide on how to my .Eco a success, I joked: Make sure the other side doesn’t decide to just get .green instead. You need to get their heads stuck on .eco. If they opt for .green, you could have long term competition. And that’s not what this is about; you need to get a monopoly TLD. I should have done some fact checking, because, buried beneath all of the hoopla around .eco, a group has announced .green. And, ... read more ...
