What also concerns me is the potential for greenwashers to take advantage of this domain.  One of the speakers here says there will be screening to make sure that companies/ngos/individuals genuinely support earth-friendly policies and practices.   But what will be the criteria, determined by whom, monitored by whom?  This has real potential to be (another) feel-good marketing bandwagon unless there's a lot of work done to give it some real substance.
