'''.eco''' is a proposed [[gTLD]] in [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD program]]. At one time, there were multiple companies publicly interested in applying to manage a .eco TLD. The TLD is aimed at drawing attention to ecological causes, organizations, and other entities associating themselves with positive ecological developments.

One public applicant, [[Big Room Inc.]], has announced a partnership with [[Afilias]] for their back-end and technical needs, and also announced that they intend to apply for the TLD as a [[Community gTLD]]. They have been working with the World Wildlife Federation (WWF), Greenpeace, and Conservation International to demonstrate the requisite community support.<ref>[http://news.dot-nxt.com/2012/02/06/dot-eco-interview Dot ECO Interview, News.Dot-Nxt.com]</ref>
