Roger, on behalf of the DotGreen Community, wrote a letter to [[ICANN]]'s GAC expressing her concern that the .green TLD should be operated by a company or organization dedicated to the environmental movement. Although DotGreen did not file a community application, despite having the support of a number of environmental organizations, the other three applicants for the TLD are portfolio applicants [[Top Level Domain Holdings]], [[Afilias], and [[Demand Media]] ([[United TLD Holdco, Ltd.)]], and Roger argues that these companies are only out to sell as many domains as they can, instead of fostering a committed environmental domain space.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/9933-dotgreen-lobbies-the-gac-for-support-in-green-fight DotGreen lobbies the GAC for support in .green fight, domainincite.com]</ref>

==People and Planet==
Since [[ICANN 43]] in Costa Rica, DotGreen has been hosting a green-centric event on the Saturday before the start of [[ICANN]]. This event is known as '''People and Planet'''. In Costa Rica, it involved planting trees and experiencing local flora and fauna by hiking and river rafting. In Prague, the People and Planet event involved going to a local farmer's market, creating a lunch from the locally sourced ingredients, and going on a bike ride to experience the many multi-use paths that allow natives to move without fossil fuels. In Toronto, the group of 50 people from 12 countries planted 400 trees on the nearby Ward's Island, where the tress are important to the ecologically rare sand dune systems in the area.
As [[Kathy Kleiman]] noted during the Toronto event, "[this interaction with nature] will bring life, and really meaning, to the types of activities we're doing with Internet law and policy the rest of the week at [[ICANN]]".<ref>[http://vimeo.com/53546105 Toronto Vimeo Video] Retrieved 16 November 2012.</ref>
