From Debra Lynn Dadd
Well, this is pretty cool. Now you can get a domain name that ends in .organic! Like debra.organic. But there’s a catch and a benefit.
You have to qualify. The names are reserved for members of the organic community. Any organization that wants to purchase a .ORGANIC domain must be engaged in the organic sector and meet the criteria established by .ORGANIC.
Here’s who may be eligible to register a .ORGANIC domain
- Certified organic producers, farmers, distributors and the like
- Certified organic textile and skincare providers
- Organic restaurants and venues
- Certifiers in the organic community
- Publications, journalists and bloggers catering to the organic community and industry
- Non-profit, not-for-profit and trade associations that primarily serve and represent the organic community
- As this rolls out, it will be interesting to see how this can help consumers identify organic products.
Like how can consumers find these .ORGANIC businesses? They are not listed on the .ORGANIC website that I can find. Nor could I find the standards by which they are reviewed. I just typed “.organic” into google and got nothing.
Great idea. Let’s see what happens.
