Annalisa Roger founded DotGreen in 2007, and continues to be its CEO. She is also the co-Founder and co-Chair of San Francisco's regional chapter of ISOC.[1][2] Annalisa is also a NARALO liaison and has previously worked in a variety of ALAC Working Groups.[3]
Her involvement with DotGreen and the general ICANN process allows her to give insightful presentations to individuals who do not have the same inside knowledge.[4]
DotGreen[edit | edit source]
DotGreen marks the first environmental TLD initiative. "Green" in this context is not only an internationally recognized symbol for environmentalism and progress, it is even more specifically an acronym for Global Response to Environmental and Economic Necessities.[5] Its registry services have been contracted to Neustar. They are currently preparing to apply through the new new gTLD process. The .green extension is aimed to serve the environmentally concerned community around the globe and to give back to non-profit organizations all over the world.[6] Annalisa's current team includes Jennifer Knoll and John Deneen.[7]
Her work with DotGreen was noted in an August, 2011 opinion piece by former ICANN Chair, Esther Dyson, who opposes the new gTLD process as is. Ms. Roger notably defended the value of her own project, which Dyson seems to recognize as more inherently valuable than other name spaces, but still sees as possibly unnecessary.[8]
In December, 2011, Ms. Roger sent a letter to the U.S. senate and applicable parties in order to spread a positive message about ICANN, its new gTLD program, and the potential it brings with it. The letter was sent ahead of a series of hearings scheduled for the U.S. Senate and Congress, that seem to mainly be brought about through the anti-TLD lobbying of the Association of National Advertisers. Annalisa Roger offered her opinions as a invested member of the ICANN community that participated throughout the whole gTLD expansion process, and as an individual looking forward to further innovation on the Internet through gTLDs. Her letter can be read here.
Women's Issues[edit | edit source]
Ms. Roger was appointed by the Marin County Board of Supervisors as a Women’s Commissioner in 2010. She is set to hold this post until 2013.[9] She also is involved in Women in DNS, a network which meets alongside the tri-annual ICANN meetings.[10]
