She has been spreading her .green message since 2007, and has recently attended Green-related events in Denver, New York, San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro, and elsewhere. Her [[DotGreen]] company has also planned a green-centric event prior to the beginning of [[ICANN meetings]] since [[ICANN 43]] in Costa Rica.

Annalisa comes from a family that has been deeply involved in [[ICANN]] and the development of the Internet and its [[DNS]]. Her father, [[Peter de Blanc]], was an Internet pioneer and the initial administrator of the Virgin Island's [[.vi]] [[ccTLD]]. He was responsible for the implementation of free, public access to a text-based Internet service in the mid-90s on the islands; he also started the first ISP and website in the region, and provided computers and IT-based education to local schools. He was also instrumental in developing [[ICANN]]'s [[ccNSO]]. Her step-mohter, [[Dotty Sparks de Blanc]], is the current administrator of the [[.vi]] [[ccTLD]].
