===DotGreen lobbies the GAC===
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>
